4 +1 for dropping all three. PyPy is still enough of a moving target
5 keeping old versions around is IMO not worth it. I'd similarly not
6 expect too many people to care about Python 3 before 3.2 (3.2 is the
7 special long-term-supported ABI release though, so that one should
8 probably stick around).

10 There's probably still some people using 2.5 but at this point I doubt
11 virtual/imaging is the only thing in the tree that'll break/require
12 extra maintenance to work with 2.5. So yeah, drop them from the main
13 tree. If people still need them, they can use an overlay / old ebuilds
14 from CVS.
