I think that it's probably best to leave "python", "python2", and "python3" for the use of downstream distributors. ISTR that was what Guido concluded, in the discuss that led to Python 3 defaulting to altinstall---it wasn't just convenient because Python 3 is a major change, but that experience has shown that deciding which Python is going to be "The python" on somebody's system just isn't a decision that Python should make.
Yes. However, at the language summit in Chicago, it was agreed that the installation should also provide a python3 symlink.
I don't recall the agreement wrt. to the names of executables on Windows.
Regards, Martin
