BTW, at a large search engine company where I now work, it has proven useful that Ubuntu still has legacy Python packages for v2.1 through v2.4. If it didn't, we would be forced to build/support our own (which we may yet need to do). So even if Debian chooses not to support legacy versions of Python, please keep a framework that makes it easy to add extra packages to support it :-) -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
