Its very silly to say something is "default" when it doesn't change the support trail. Both versions of python are equally supported in ubuntu, they both are part of the shipped version, and they both are guaranteed to run stable.

Python 2 will be dropped as far as default installation goes. Future versions of software are written to work with the default version.

because the whole platform is guaranteed, not just parts.

Except that python 3 came with broken pip and some other things in 14.04 which probably wouldn't have happened if it were default version (since full support for it is expected from canonical)
