They won't be changed every time they upgrade; python27 will point to
~/.spyder2-27, and 26 to ~/.spyder2-26

If people installed both (for testing codes with 26 and 27, for
example) previously, both would run only one (26 or 27, depending on
which made the preference files) python in the interactive
interpreters... This seems worse than having two preference
directories.
