I think you missed the point of the PEP.  The point is to create a new,
python-dev-blessed standard that the distros will follow.  The primary
goal is so that a script can specify python2 or python3 in the #!
line and expect that to work on all compliant linux systems, which we
hope will be all of them.  Everything else is just details.  And yes,
that distinction is much more important than the distinction between
minor version numbers.  That's the whole point of python3, after all.
