If the intent is really to do a source-only releases mostly for system vendors, then I don't see the harm in leaving those changes in. I mean, a vendor is going to cherry pick the ones they want anyway, so let's just make it easy for them to do this. That might mean publishing the svn logs a long with the source release, or publishing each diff and log message separately. It's not just vendors, also end-users who are concerned about the security of their installations.

I would be bummed to rollback the email package changes. You don't have to - I will do it for you (although I don't understand fully what "to be bummed" means).

It means I'd be sad. ;)

The problem is that I make separate releases of the standalone email package from these branches, so that means that email 3.0.3 or 2.5.10 will have regressions.

Unless you're offering to also re-apply these changes after you make the Python releases .
