You're getting the ordering of events wrong. Arch's actions weren't in response to the PEP. The PEP was written in response to Arch's actions. > Also, the python2 symlink should have already been there. Nope. There was no such convention or specification at the time. There was, however, convention and specification (in the form of "what Python upstream build systems do") on what /usr/bin/python means, which is "Python 2". |

There was no formal specification, but there was a convention that many distributions were already following (and quite a few others were not).
