no need for apologies. Everyone makes mistakes. :-)

You can also just maintain the python packages. AFAIK nobody is really
forcing that python26 is removed from EPEL5, it is just a lack of
interest in package maintainers to care about the affected packages.

Yes, you need to push an update to make sure that no broken
dependencies stay in the repository. Please do it soon so I can move
forward and retire all packages with broken dependencies in EPEL.
