Well, one of the things RHEL gets you is platform stability (they
backport fixes; primarily security in the older RHEL streams). So
of course the Python dates to the time of the release.

I install a current Python 2.7 into /usr/local on many RHEL boxes
and target that for custom code.

There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'. It is 'dead'.
