>From the users of my mx tools I usually hear that they are
using some software which has incorporated Python 1.5.2 and therefore
does not allow upgrading to 2.0. Another issue is that people 
seem uncomfortable with upgrading to a new major release (the news
page is quite long even though backward compatibility is still
maintained much more than the length of the page suggests).
