This is a problem, it means 2.6.3 is not a simple drop-in
replacement for 2.6.2 but requires the replacement of another
component as well. That can be a problem in organizations with
strict configuration management where you cannot install new
software without going to lots of red tape (and that might involve
lawyers when you install a new package instead of upgrading an
existing one).
Sure, but that would have happened sooner or later anyway. Is it
really so bad that it happens now instead of say, in half a year? I
don't see why it's such a big deal. Sorry, but I don't.
It's not the happening, it's the happening without a deprecation,
warnings, announcements etc. deserved by a change that affects so much
of the Python eco-system.
