No, we keep everything called python3, we just provide the "python" name. With python2 -> python3, one of the problems was that everything was just called "python" before. We are not proposing to start doing that again. All packages still need to eb called python3-foo, ale package still need to use python3-foo dependencies and all packages still need to invoke "python3" explicitly.
But if everything should refer to python3 explicitly, what's the benefit of having the unversioned Python? I understand why it's better to have python mean python3 instead of python2, but I don't understand why it's better than not having it.
