Er, that PEP currently recommends that python be a symlink to python2.
It states that at some point in the future, the recommendation will

You've got the order of events backward.  That PEP was created
*because* Arch decided to link python to python3.  Neither GvR nor
anybody else who work on Python have any control over that.
