The proposed outcome is for that alias to be switchable by end users between 3 configurations (always reports an error, always runs Python 2, always runs Python 3). For that to be supportable, we need *distro* packages to always specify either python2 or python3 (otherwise they'll break in the "not specified" configuration, or when the alias points to the "wrong" version).
