Which has been done. My concern is that the resistance to a compat
package at Fedora seems to be pretty much unfounded. I've looked at
Bugzilla entries for python 2.4.x in FC6, as well as entries for some of
the compat-gcc pakages from the past. If there's been abuse and
activity generated by past compat-gcc packages, I've found little
evidence in Bugzilla. The activity for python 2.4.x has also been
minimal, so I don't see why you would suddenly expect a barrage of
action for the compat package. If I've overlooked something, then by
all means, please let me know.
I'm not going to rehash all the arguments again. Look at the
zope/plone thread from a while ago.
It was tried. As it stands, Zope and Plone, which were availabe in
Extras for FC6, aren't available directly, and probably won't be for F8.
Certainly won't be for F8 release. Maybe if Zope and Plone can run on
python 2.5/2.6 soon then they can be added as updates for F8 and in F9.
