You can just install the python-dateutil-2.* package and test away ;) Looking at the list and your annoucement mail again, I wonder if it might be better to bump python-dateutil to 2.2 again as soon as the updated python-dateutil15 is available, and simply modify packages which either explicitly depend on dateutil < 2 or exhibit problems to depend on python-dateutil15. Proven packagers can do that trivially if necessary. Otherwise this could drag on for months. fedocal and python-django-tastypie are the only packages which explicitly require python-dateutil < 2. If you wish, I can volunteer file bugs to change the dependency for F21 and rawhide for those two packages and do it myself after a week if the maintainers don't respond or are fine with the change (got to use those provenpackager privs for something :)).
