I considered that but someone would have to be responsible for the stack of
python26 packages that python-fedora depended upon.  Quite a ballooning of
effort.  It also may not help people who are depending on python-fedora if
their scripts have not been ported to python-2.6 and python-fedora is
python-2.6 only.  For instance, this would push the fedpkg maintainers in
EPEL5 to make a similar choice to rebase their application against
pyhton2.6 and maintain the stack of packages they require on the python2.6
base.
