Definitely.  It doesn't just affect Bazaar though, it hurts every Python
application that wants to run on supported versions of RHEL5.

The only remotely possible solution would be to cut off Python < 2.6 support
in Bazaar at some point but ensure that newer versions are still wire
compatible with older versions for as long as you need.  Then, RHEL5 users
could still run the old clients and servers while folks that talk to them with
newer versions of Bazaar would still be able to do so.

Not fun though.
