Of course, newer is not always better in the general case; in this case, however, I would claim it is. This is the version of rst.el that is included with Emacs, which means it has the blessing of the Emacs developers. For this reason, I would also expect it to have been actively tested together with Emacs 23, which may or may not be the case for the older version in python-docutils. Suboptimality isn't my problem either: I wouldn't mind having two versions of the file in my system, as long as Emacs picks up the right version, which is not what it's doing right now.
