I'm fine with removing the ‘python’ command, because that command means
Python 2 and Python 2 is going away.
What I am opposing is the suggestion to install, in the near to medium
term, a command of exactly the same name that has subtly similar but
incompatible behaviour, when that behaviour *already* has a command –
‘python3’ – that is widely used by those who need it.
