Let's say we still have a good reason to need python 2.5. Is this going to break a lot of the system-whatever commands?
Yes, I'd think so. They are all python-based (as is yum - does that one still work?).
Are there any workarounds?
Install python-2.5 into /opt or /usr/local - and try *not* to get that into $PATH in front of /usr/bin/python.
