What's the convenience symlink for the latest version of Python 3.x?
Or of Python in general?

I'm not sure what "Uncommitted" means in this context.  Ordinarily, it
would mean that other projects shouldn't use this link because it
could shift out from under them.  But I suspect you actually mean the
opposite: you *want* projects implemented in Python to use these
specific version links to avoid surprises.

Please clarify.
