+      <para>
+        Python programmers who use the xml module may find that a few pieces of it work differently than in the past. This is due to Fedora no longer shipping <package>PyXML</package>. This change allows the python <function>stdlib</function> xml module to be visible to programmers. <package>PyXML</package> replaced the <function>stdlib</function> code with its own. This was done because <package>PyXML</package> code is older and buggier than the <function>stdlib</function> code and unmaintained upstream.
