 I don't see why it would. We've had the possibility to
have /usr/bin/python2.4 etc. for a long time ... but it doesn't really
help us due the binary name only being part of the problem.
 In theory we could take this as an official "yes, this is a different
language" hint, and make a python3deps.sh for rpmbuild, rename all the
python pkgs etc. ... but even then, can gedit etc. embend both
languages?
