It's too bad they didn't skip to Python 2.7 which seems that will be the last 2.x version [1].

I don't think 2.7 has been out nearly long enough for a Linux distro to be based on it. RHEL uses Python for core stuff like yum.

Fedora 14 uses it and they could have delayed the release.

You can always make the argument that you could delay the release of the distro to get "the next version of critical library/tool X", however, then you never release.

The most important feature is _SHIPPING_.

They already delayed the release by 2 years more than they should've.
