The policy ( as I remember when we discussed on this ml ) would allow to ship it, the specific case that I had in mind was postgresql, because it has a strict policy on backporting fixes, and regression testing, but python would fit too. However, my current workload and priority list do not place "doing a python update" on the top of the list. As you say, that's not a deal breaker, so I prefer to focus on what would be more important or urgent ( like for example, fixing servers and broken raid array ). -- Michael Scherer
