Simon,

While Python 2 may be deprecated, I don't think we can change the defaults
for master yet. The main issue is the packaging of Windows and Mac still
requires Python 2 (based on the discussion in [1]) because the Python 3
packages are not validated/existing yet. Until we have Windows and OSX
using Python 3, I think we should hold off bumping the defaults in the
CMake.
