[Mailman-Developers] Templating the interface

Developers and Admins,

It is understandable that some admins request a Mailman that works on 
their RHEL3 or older. But please don't let that hold development back at 
all. Admins really should appreciate that the developers look forward 
and focus on creating a system that is state-of-the-art. What they come 
up with now will probably be easy to install on RHEL5, and it will 
probably be included in RHEL6.

RHEL3 is a "don't touch it if it works" system. And it probably works 
quite well. And if a part of the system has to be upgraded, then upgrade 
the whole system to RHEL5.

And if upgrading isn't an option: It doesn't take long time to build a 
/usr/local/python2.5-for-mailman-only/ on an old system!
