On the other hand, I can see his point as well. The news item makes it
very clear that python-3 cannot be the default python and that python-2
needs to be installed.
It could be argued that he is just assuming that users are intelligent
enough to figure out that they need to mask python-3 if they
do not want it on their systems.
Basically this is a case of "how much hand-holding do we want to do"?
