For the rest of the story look at the bug report: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=754538 And remember that tools like python-fedora are to an extent a special case: F14's python-fedora doesn't only have to be able to build F14 packages, we want people using F14 to be able to work on F15, F16 and Rawhide.
