If *all* distros provide a "python2" symlink, then the recommendation
can become "use python if it's 2/3 compatible, or python2/python3 to
choose", and then it won't hurt to switch python to be python3. Are
there known distros in which current versions (or, those that will be
current when 3.5 is released) aren't providing "python2"?
