Just one clarification -- are you saying, "it would be easy for us (bzr
developers) to create a plugin so we should plan on doing that rather than
support the entire codebase on older python" or "it would be easy for some
interested party to create a plugin if they choose to"?

I ask because well... I'll be able to move the servers I care about to RHEL6
(and python-2.6) so I probably won't scratch that itch.  But I know that
I'll get bug reports asking why the bzr on RHEL5 doesn't work with launchpad
and I hate closing bugs as CANTFIX.

Thanks,
