My biggest problem with ``python3``, is what happens after 3.9.

Python2 technically includes 1.x versions as well, so it
wouldn't be unprecedented for python3 to imply versions
beyond 3.x. It would be a bit confusing, though.

My problem isn’t that it *includes* it, it’s that either people have to go
through the mess to update all of their things to ``python4`` at some point
in the future, or Python 3.x will need to eventually mean ``python``.

Well that or Python 4.x has a ``python3`` binary.
