*snort*  Just yesterday at lunch, a co-workers asked me what I thought of 
Apple's announcement that OS-9 was dead.  Would it force me to upgrade to 
OS-X before I really wanted to?  My answer was that it really didn't affect 
me because I hadn't upgraded to OS-9 yet.

Then again, I'm also running RedHat 6.2.  Oddly enough, I've upgraded my 
python to 2.x, and havn't yet seen any problems caused by that.
