python-fedora update for F-14 brings in additional 57 packages

[Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski]

Hi list,
could someone explain why an update in a branch that's supposed
to be stable and is nearing EOL requires me to download 14MB worth
of additional packages (57 extra dependencies) for a 360KB package?
Doesn't this go against our update guidelines?

For the record, the installed version is 0.3.24-1.fc14, so it's
supposedly a very minor update to 0.3.25.1. I certainly wasn't expecting
a ton of extra dependencies.
