Some followup.  I've made a page for removing pyxml:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Remove_PyXML

dmalcolm added the dep tree.  I remember that fedora-business-card is
a false dep from when this came up in February.  I'll remove the dep
shortly.  Since SOAPpy affects so much stuff I had a look.  It seems
like the dep is false there as well.  The README says that PyXML is
needed but inspection of the code and the ChangeLog, ReleaseNotes, and
the upstream scm point to that being a documentation bug; PyXML
requirement was supposedly removed in 2003.
