not a python guy but heard this means python<3 scripts will break? no backwards compatibility with the new version?

First sentence is false, second is true (by itself).

Python 3 isn't becoming `/usr/bin/python` - it will be `/usr/bin/python3` and the Python programs that are shipped on the CD will use that. If you thought Python 3 was going to become `/usr/bin/python`, then yes, that would cause backwards compatibility issues.
