There're quite a few people developing for Python 2.5 (for other target |
| 19 |
platforms) using Gentoo. Just as I know one guy who programs for RedHat |
| 20 |
(with Python 2.4) using Gentoo ~amd64. |
| 21 |
Though I'm not developer, I hold that there's no call to remove old Python |
| 22 |
versions from tree: declare them unsupported, or mask, but don't remove |
| 23 |
until it's too burdensome. |
