Ubuntu 2014.4 has a goal of "only shipping Python 3 on the desktop CD 
images."  That's very different from not supporting Python 2.  Of course 
they'll still support Python 2.  They're just trying not to require it 
for the base desktop packages.

We'll see if they meet that goal  2014.4 is only 10 months away.
