Perhaps the follow fixes are sufficient then:
        Document this in big bold letters at the start of the XML
        section of the Python manual.

        Document this in big bold letters in the README, HOWTO, etc.,
        of PyXML.

        Ensure that Python *always* ships with PyXML, latest-stable
        version.  Make it a file whose installation can be controlled
        separately.

This would perhaps set expectations properly.
