I disagree with providing two versions for very low popcon packages. We
will end up in a maintenance hell if we try to put our really low
manpower on two *minor* versions of some software just because upstream
decides to break compatibility and some downstreams do not follow. I'd
prefer if we could fix downstream (python-bedtools) to support the
latest interface since this is sustainable in the longer term.
