Ok,
I've given it some thought, and I've about convinced myself that we aren't
likely to have problems involving backwards compatibility on this one.  Even
for medusa users not using quixote, I really can't see why they would ever
have felt the need to diddle with medusa.xmlrpc_handler.collector's data
attribute, and as such, submit the attached patch.

If anyone should think that it would be better to attempt to preserve some
level of backwards compatibility on the collector.data attribute, let me
know.  I have something that I was working on that emulated a string (sorta)
while actually being a list.  I decided the additional performance overhead,
complexity (and resulting chance of stupid bugs), and line count just wasn't
worth it for this situation.
