</I>><i> Uh.
</I>><i> As a Mageia user I would expect Mageia to package significant *bugfix

</I>
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 ).
