 That wasn't a canonical list (I'm not sure we can easily generate that
without just having users say XYZ looks wrong), although from my testing
there aren't "many" packages that contain "\n  " which is one of the
problems:

x = yb.pkgSack.returnPackages()
x = filter(lambda x: x.description.find('\n  ') != -1, x)
x = yum.packageSack.packagesNewestByName(x)
# F9, len(x) == 213

...my point was more that although there might not be a lot of them
there _are_ known packages which will fail. So we can't just say
"everything works, and we have new features".

 So, it's not markdown then surely? Can you point to some python that
implements your version?
