In every environment I've seen a specific version used, the primary symlink is 
updated to point to the version that's supported or being used. For example, 
at work engineers asked for Python 2.7 to be installed on all of the systems 
in a given department, so my team installed the SCL, created a wrapper and 
updated the symlink 'python' to point to it.
