Yea, it is interesting how when something the fedora maintainers
use heavily becomes incompatible, then suddenly backward compatibility
becomes vitally important instead of just: "well, you shouldn't
use fedora if you don't want the bleeding edge" :-).

I also don't see why it shouldn't be provided as a separate
package. If it really is all that incompatible it is a completely
different language anyway, and there is merely a coincidence
that part of the name is composed of the letters "python" :-).

Certainly the Qt3 gui toolkit is pretty much a completely different
toolkit than Qt4, and fedora manages to ship both of those.
