Default-shift is a known natural language phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retronym It is inevitably messy in the middle. Even worse for us, "Python' is both a natural and artificial language term and the default meaning will not necessarily be synchronized across the two domains. Not being a current *nix user, I have no opinion on the specific alternatives. However, I am concerned about newcomers being mis-served by being mislead into thinking that 'Python' is python 2 rather python 3. We see this in some newbie posts on Python list. (This is especially a concern when default Python is still, say, 2.5.) I have no idea, though, how to avoid breaking scripts while directing newcomers in the proper direction. -- Terry Jan Reedy
