Hi all, hi Robey,

I'd just like to second this: can we please get a quick bugfix release
out and up on PyPI? :)

I've mentioned as much in a few other places in the past (the bug
report / Github) but I work on the Fabric project, and the
exception-throwing issue especially affects all of my users, current
and future.

A number of folks, including myself, have verified that the submitted
patch for this issue fixes the problem without any apparent negative
side-effects, and it's a pretty severe problem for those affected by
it.

The lack of a fix (and the fact that Paramiko 1.7.4 doesn't seem to be
up on PyPI) is a factor delaying the next version of Fabric. The other
factor is that I've been overhauling the docs, and those docs right
now have scary red warnings all over them saying "for the love of God,
don't use easy_install, Paramiko 1.7.5 has a nasty bug! Do all this
manual stuff instead!".

This makes both projects look bad, and that saddens me. I've even
considered switching requirements to a forked version of Paramiko just
so people can easy_install Fabric, but I'd rather not as that seems
kind of drastic :)

Thanks,
Jeff F.
