Look, it's all about how much risk you are willing to carry. I don't  
like playing Russian Roulette with services that are supposed to be  
highly available. And I don't want to have to waste a single thought  
on problems that *might* develop if RedHat or their packagers decide  
to do something to their Python or to Python add-ons I use. I also  
prefer to do upgrades to these components on my own schedule, not  
when someone else who has no idea about my various usage scenarios  
thinks so.
