Hi Lukas,
Can you present a technical reason against doing the renaming now? 
Because as far as I can see, Allan has worked out the kinks and it will 
actually not harm you as a regular user at all...

(unless you write personal scripts in python that you want to work with 
#!something on multiple distros? (then you probably want to run them in 
python version 2) .. I'm not sure I can think of an easy way to do that; 
maybe for each distro you use you could put a symlink in 
/usr/local/bin/python2 for example.)
