In this [question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/604526/323121) , there are three choices: 1. Dangerous answers — [Remove system python](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/604549/323121) 2. Answer buried in comments — This is a widely known [bug](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/604526/blocked-from-using-pip3#comment1128232_604526) 3. Convert 2 above to an answer. Left as is it becomes *link only*. Or padding with unnecessary explanation – seems gratuitous and superfluous. What is the policy?
