With Python 2 now officially retired, it's time to change the installer 
behavior.  With the merged change, as of Python 3.9.0 (alpha 6) the python.org 
macOS installers will now update the Current version symmlink in the 
/Library/Frameworks Python being installed.  Since this would be a change in 
behavior that could affect current users of Python 3.8.x or 3.7.x, I think we 
should not backport this to those versions.  Thanks again for the report!
