Yes, they kinda have a point. Referring to latest python as python3 forever is silly. Unfortunately we have all those users with legacy proprietary python2 things, and they feel like they still 'own' python (without a number).

To avoid patching dozens of scripts, i use this bbappend for python3 until the time comes to make it the default:

do_install:append:class-target() {

ln -sf ${bindir}/python3 ${D}${bindir}/python

}

FILES:${PN}:class-target += "${bindir}/python"
