The problem is that if pyxml is installed, the parts of pyxml that were
integrated (and maintained) in Python 2.4 and later get superceded by the
obsolete pyxml code if it's installed, so installing it to support one
package can have negative effects on others.

For people that really want the other pyxml bits, the thing to do is to go
through and remove all the code that was integrated into Python, make a new
release of this subset, and take up maintenance of it.
