Admittedly, this one of the things about IPS that has long bother me. It's very "opinionated". IPS "knows better" than I do what packages should be installed, and in what versions, etc. and if I don't happen to agree (i.e. in this case, please don't just remove Python 2.5) well, that's just too bad.
It's true for any distribution. For example, on updating my Ubuntu web servers, python 3 was updated from 3.4 to 3.6 (IIRC) and I had to rebuild modules which were used by application. I don't think this is an issue. The issue is the absence of releases, when we say, that this interface is supported for one major release. Long discussed /stable branch and question of its life cycle. But again, I'm not going to support several git branches of OI. If someone wants it, he is really welcome.
