RHEL5 is in beta. It currently has python-2.4.3 (humorously, the RPM is 
still called python-2.4.3-14.fc6). As I said, _I_ don't care about mailman 
on RHEL4 (I run it on Solaris x86 as I like servers that don't crash), I 
just wanted to raise the issue. Feel free to say "legacy OS, legacy 
mailman". But keeping 2.3 support for future 2.1.x security/bugfix releases 
would be a good idea.
