James, thanks for your thoughts.  By the way, why are you worried about
multiple installable pythons?  Unless someone runs "python3", they will get the
normal (python2) system python.  The python3 package would never install a
binary named "python".  Anyway, I would love to understand the concerns.

In response to your comments:

4) Thanks for clarifying the difference.  I'm already using patches instead of
sed in my specfile, so I'll just keep on doing that.

5) I agree that Tk isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but upstream hasn't
deprecated it (and it's the only GUI in the stdlib).  I don't think we have to
like it, but that doesn't mean we should make misleading comments in the
package descriptions.

7) Thanks for the clarification about multilib (this is one of those areas
where I still make lots of mistakes).  I'll plan on putting a libs package back
in.
