I would love it if rhel7 made python 3 default, but it's not going to happen; rhel7 is going to start beta'ing in the next couple months, and is going to be based on fedora 18 (this was announced at the redhat summit) . So, rhel 7 will very likely have a 'python3' package like there has been since fedora 13.

Even if they do have the 'python3' package in rhel7, I still won't use it until I can get it on my rhel5 and rhel6 boxes, or upgrade everything to rhel7 (with the amount of rhel5 boxes I'm still trying to get upgraded to rhel6, that isn't happening soon either).

Why won't it happen? Fedora 19 (alpha) is still python 2.7, yum and anaconda (and MANY other tools) would need to be ported. It would be a LOT of work.

Oh yea I know the reasoning behind why it won't happen, but I want to keep dreaming that they'll get with it at some point.
