I think it would be good to have an easy_install-3, so that there's more
continuity with upgrades from 3.1 to 3.2 to 3.3, etc., but that's just my
opinion.

I would think that the goal would be more to set the standard for Python 3
packaging, especially since there aren't any packaging guidelines yet.  Not
that I know what the right thing is. :)
