As an outsider to the Python community, not having any binary or package that responds to the expected name "python" would be a disaster.
Can you expand on that? As I understand it, most things that are calling for "python" now are expecting that to be "python2". So when it becomes "python3", they'll break anyway. So why perpetuate a pattern that's not future-proof (for some values of "proof")?
Depends on what you mean by calling "python". The biggest portion of python code floating around would be compatible with either both python2 and 3, or only with python3, with a few exceptions.
