[Baypiggies] Whither `python` OR `python2` and `python3`?

[Michiel Overtoom]

Hi Wesley,

> `python main.py` as an entrypoint had been pretty reliable because whatever version I installed in any container as `python` also pointed to the right place.

Consider python-is-python2 and python-is-python3:

$ apt-cache search python-is-python

python-is-python3 - symlinks /usr/bin/python to python3
python-is-python2 - symlinks /usr/bin/python to the DEPRECATED python2

Greetings,

Was this a necessary breaking change? I'm pretty sure I disagree with it for now... change my mind? Curious what others think. Here's a related thread.
