I'm not up on the development/release plans of RHEL. When do you think they might release a version with Python 2.4 support? The same kind of goes for OS X, which ships with Python 2.3 on Tiger. I have no idea what Leopard will ship with, but I'd have to hope that it would be at least 2.4.x if not 2.5.x.
RHEL5 is in beta. It currently has python-2.4.3 (humorously, the RPM is still called python-2.4.3-14.fc6). As I said, _I_ don't care about mailman on RHEL4 (I run it on Solaris x86 as I like servers that don't crash), I just wanted to raise the issue. Feel free to say "legacy OS, legacy mailman". But keeping 2.3 support for future 2.1.x security/bugfix releases would be a good idea.
