I don't know about RH, but @ litl we're using all-introspected bindings w/ a distro based on Ubuntu Hardy. So "backporting" shouldn't be too painful, really. (Of course, we're not using the python introspection, so you might have other troubles there.) +1 on introspection in general. Hopefully

Hi, anybody has thoughts about the convenience (or not) of making Sugar depend on the introspection stack in GNOME 3.0? The biggest practical downside will be that Sugar 0.90 will only run on next-cycle distros (Fedora 14, Ubuntu Maverick, etc) unless people backport a lot of other packages (not
