+1 for this change.

suds-jurko is used in upstream OpenStack Cinder < https://github.com/openstack/cinder/blob/master/requirements.txt#L49 >.
 
Has the current python-suds maintainer been contacted about this
change directly?  If so, did they have an opinion on it?


I have contacted the maintainer personally, but does not heard from him back.

Can someone actually check this for compatibility instead of just believing?
