    Add a new image and distro definition for using = on the WebKit CI for WPE perf bots
    
 ...

    * It adds also a 'python-is-python3' recipe that= creates a symlink
    to provide the unversioned python interpreter as= python3.


but both oe-core and meta-oe maintainers said on today's YP tech call that
they would *not* carry that recipe.

While I see the convenience in dropping a lot of patches the better approach would be to add something like python-is-python3, for the ones that require it.
(meta-webkit does provide it already https://github.com/Igalia/meta-webkit/blob/mai= n/recipes-devtools/python/python-is-python3_1.0.bb).

Adding a link by the base package and recommending to the user to remove it again, would create two very unwelcome situations.
a) it will clash at image assembly with an error message that will no easily point to the python base package
b) create a need to run with a permanent remove operation on top of poky (creating the need for new sstate cache artifacts)

What I could see is to move the symlink into an optional package, which could be used by the few recipes that still use the "wrong" interpreter line via RDEPENDS, that would b= e the much cleaner solution here
