Changing your tone to one that is less inflammatory and (especially)
less accusatory would help your case quite a bit.  You know what they

2.2.0 is the latest stable version, so that may answer your question
about why Fedora uses such an "old" pygtk2.  (Also, it was only released
in March - is that really so old?)

There have been many 2.3 releases since March, but as the odd minor
version number indicates, this is still unstable.  While Fedora is
cutting edge, it doesn't ship much beta software - certainly they
shouldn't for something as critical as the bindings for the system-
config-* tools.

All that said, it will be rather nice when PyGTK fully supports gtk 2.4.
Not being able to assist with the effort, though, I'll not complain
about it.
