I mean, generalized existential dread? :)

The most obvious is scripts with #!/usr/bin/python . OK, we can try and
find every single one in the distro and patch them (though I'm sure
some will get missed somehow) but there will certainly be ones that
*aren't part of the distro* that get bitten by this.

But yeah, I don't have an itemized list of things that are going to
break or anything. I wish I did!
