What does that change actually mean? Which software could potentially
be affected?

I don't quite understand all the consequences since we are not
installing "python" by default and most of our ports specify python
version in one way or another and also make sure that the "correct"
version of python is being used.

(At the moment we don't even ship any Python 3-compatible solution for
wxWidgets, buildbot etc.)

It could be nice if someone finds a way to list all ports where
something could potentially change if default python version gets
changed.
