I think the idea to have a compatibility matrix is a good one. The arguments for supporting rather old Python versions seems strange to me. What is the benefit if the according XEN versions are not supported on the distros in question anyway? The reasoning sounds artificial, or is there any point which was not stated explicitly??? -------- Original-Nachricht -------- > Datum: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 18:52:17 +0200 > Von: Andreas Florath <xen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > An: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx> > CC: xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Betreff: Re: [Xen-devel] Suggestion: drop python 2.3 support for xen-3.5 > Hello! > > >>>> <xen@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 19.08.09 12:20 >>> > >> What is your idea about future python support and timelines?
