I wonder if it's time to change this policy.  Looking at a few major
distros: 
      * Debian: python2.5 is in stable (soon to be oldstable) 
      * Ubuntu: python2.5 has been in since Feisty (and bzr is 0.8.2 in
        dapper, so we're presumably not going to be backporting
        incompatible changes any time soon) 
      * Fedora: Python version 2.5 since Fedora 7 (which was as early as
        I could dig records out for)

So it wouldn't be unreasonable to start thinking about it.
