Splitting things out for developers is not the same as keeping that  
split visible for distributions, either via tarball, binary from us,  
or through distros.  In fact, I'd venture to guess that most locked  
down establishments are not going to be installing Python from us;  
they'll get it through their operating system vendor (well, thank  
goodness I don't have to know what locked down Windows users have to  
go through ;).

Still, there's no reason why we couldn't ship sumo packages with all  
those batteries included again.
