That is up to your packaging. In theory, you are right: 4Suite is
meant as a strict superset. In practice, there is more dependence
between the two than we'd like, atleast at the moment. 4Suite needs
*atleast* the most recent snapshot of PyXML, and I personally cannot
guarantee that future releases of PyXML won't break older 4Suite
releases (although there is a clear intention to be backwards
compatible if possible).
