Well, only if packagers choose not to run testsuites, which I think
would be foolish. So really packagers are in the developers camp.

Speaking as a packager (Debian, and my work is used in Ubuntu), +1.
I could live with a restriction of python 2.5+ for packagers/
developers, going forward, but that seems unnecessarily restrictive
for other platforms.
