It seems to me that there if we think there is a reason to have more than one version of python *at all*, then we owe our users the same consideration we offer other developers. That is, if the reason for having multiple versions is to accommodate programs that work with one but not the other and to assist in transitioning, surely we owe the same help to users who may have their own programs?
