I believe that you are mistaken as some of these packages were available
before Tcl/Tk 8 was. In particular, expect shipped with RedHat 4.1/2 which
only included Tcl/Tk 4.2/7.6
What we need to look at is if there are packages that _really_ need Tcl/Tk
8.0.
There is (in my view anyway) no harm in shipping a slightly older version
of a package if there is no clear difference between versions (other than
the tcl/tk version used)
