I wasn't intending to put python-lxml into the repository because I
thought that would mess the _HA_ repo . Moreover most distributions
include this package. Even for CentOS, people could find it somewhere I
thought...

python-lxml is required by GUI now. Maybe I should try to make it
optional in codes, and remove the dependency in rpm for some
distributions. Although that would make a different experience  without
python-lxml.
