I'm more wanting to go in the other direction and suggest to folks
that if they're not *scripting the OS*, then the system Python isn't
what they want, and they should be using at least a virtual
environment, preferably an entirely separate software collection that
they can upgrade on their own timeline, independently of what they
system does.

Cheers,
Nick.
