Yeah, I understood. I'd been thinking it would be nice to be able to
tune which one.

It actually wouldn't be a matter of "renaming" anything, so much as
getting rid of the symlink from one package -- on my arch system for
example,

* /usr/bin/python is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3
* /usr/bin/python3 is a symlink to /usr/bin/python3.4

In any case, I don't feel terribly strongly, but it feels like it
shouldn't be that hard to get the target of that symlink to be
user/sysadmin-configurable.
