<div>I too agree that python should not become a requirement of a linux system, by making it integral to bootup. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are however other new bootup systems that look promising and don't require python. One that caught my eye is Upstart. It's a replacement for systemvinit which runs the existing startup scripts in parallel (where possible). They also have plans to develop new startup scripts more suitable to such a system in the long run. I don't have the technical knowledge yet to know if this is really desirable in Fedora or not, but it seems worth considering.
