I guess I understand now that this is about PEP compliant version
numbers - setuptools or the like are getting more and more picky. The
relation to the legacy move is unclear to me, but that's not
important.

As promised, I looked at afew first and ported it to the new bindings :)
Afew users can pick that up in the PR on Github. (I've been using the
port for a few days.)

Also, I tried building the Fedora package with this series, and this
works including tests, too. (I have not used those test packages
myself yet.)

I pre-announced the removal of legacy bindings on the Fedora devel
list, and I'll let you know in case something important comes up.

Cheers
Michael
