whatever Apple feel like doing :)
Apple will generally follow what we decide to do for the base install.
Anyway, I'd say that OSX should do the same as Unix platforms here and support '#!/usr/bin/env python2'. Adding another symlink is fairly trivial.

P.S. I'm a bit confused about this discussion though, wouldn't adding python2 to the installation be a feature change and as such not something that can be done in a maintenance branch?
