Eh.. I guess it wasn't, or rather, it was in the Python 2.6 ARC case:

2.3 Exported Interfaces

    Interface                       Classification  Comments
    -----------------------------   --------------  ----------------------
    /usr/bin/python                 Volatile       Convenience symlink
                                                   that points to the
                                                   most recent version of
                                                   Python 2.x

And also:

    /usr/bin/python is a convenience symlink to the newest commonly
    usable version of Python.

    Python scripts delivered to Solaris must call the required
    version explicitly, not the /usr/bin/python convenience symlink,
    e.g.:

    #!/usr/bin/python2.6

So, /usr/bin/python pointing to 2.4 was really a bug, but since 2.6
wasn't on the LiveCD, it didn't make sense to change it earlier.
