But then you have to do this for every OS in existence. You'd have to wrap a conditional of this sort around every single file that building Mailman might require, but which is not included as part of Mailman itself.
I'm sorry, but this is a totally non-scalable suggestion. If all we had to do was to support a single OS, that would be fine. But we can't do everyone's job for them, and if the RPM builders want to have multiple different versions of Python (or whatever else Mailman might depend on), then they need to take the responsibility of dealing with the resulting issues.
