The way you describe it makes me think I'm missing something. The way
concurrent works right now, the default version of python gets a script
with no suffix, so there's no suffix to get rid of.

Are there cases where the presence of suffixed binaries conflicts with
upstream and/or causes confusion to users, provided that binaries (or at
least symlinks to them) are also present?
