I too agree that python should not become a requirement of a linux system, by making it integral to bootup. 
 
There are however other new bootup systems that look promising and don't require python.  One that caught my eye is Upstart.  It's a replacement for systemvinit which runs the existing startup scripts in parallel (where possible).  They also have plans to develop new startup scripts more suitable to such a system in the long run.  I don't have the technical knowledge yet to know if this is really desirable in Fedora or not, but it seems worth considering.
 
Here are the articles I've been reading:

What do others think?

I agree with you. We (at least me) not need a "PyOS" :)
