Actually, we are trying to avoid that. In the corresponding part of the
document [1], we actually say:
"Note that after Phase 1, nothing in Fedora uses /usr/bin/python any

python2 and we should provide a documented and supported way of doing so."

It is being discussed upstream right now and the discussion is linked
from the relevant part of the document [2][3].
