I=E2=80=99d suggest a =E2=80=98python-updates=E2=80=99 branch where we=E2=
=80=99d be able to pinpoint
breakage due specifically to these updates.

Unfortunately, this will have to be scheduled after we=E2=80=99re done with
=E2=80=98gnome-updates=E2=80=99, and possibly after =E2=80=98core-updates=
=E2=80=99.

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
