Or, they could support both so that they can be an agent for distros that won't have python2 installed and only python3 (AFAIK they don't exist yet).

The latest Ubuntu LTS 16.04 only has Python3 installed by default. For Ansible modules to run at all, you need to install Python 2 first (possibly using "pre_tasks" + a "raw:" command in your Ansible playbook)

Ubuntu Server no longer has Python 2 installed by default (though it's available if you want it). This is the case on 16.04.

Ah, I thought I heard about that somewhere. I did tests on 16.04 recently with ansible, but python2 was here, so I guess the image I was using wasn't a vanilla ubuntu (from a VPS provider).
