Most linux systems install python, and more than a few depend upon it for
running their update code.

A Java solution would be far slower and less efficient.  The JVM is a pig
compared to python, which is optimized for scripts.  The JVM would still be
initializing after the python script had finished sending the e-mail.

And if we were to insert the message directly into the spooler, that would
cause other problems, such as having to configure the spooler for the
client, too; keeping the configurations in synch; being able to access it in
the first place (a problem for embedded Derby); etc.
