ok. But nobody I know in software can stop new patches and versions of software from being made. Versions advance.. For some it's even a day job.
That's a poor argument for increasing the workload on all package maintainers.
Backwards compatibility is the valid argument that you've made. But, for me, that can be solved by requiring installation of a new version of distutils (which I'm -0 on) or waiting for a new python release (which I'm +1 on).
