Well, we need a clean break now and then, as we end with a big and unmaintainable mess with lots of compat packages otherwise. So I can understand the intention to not ship something like compat-python -- but I think it's to early for that. So my vote is to ship a compat-python24 for F7, but tell everyone that we won't do that for F8 and later. That gives developers like those from zope half a year time to prepare. I think that's only fair. Cu thl -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
