I don't see a compelling reason to remove support for python2.4 yet.

I agree to that.

I definitely think we should keep on supporting python2.4,
I had to install bzr last week for our company's central repository
on Sles (SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2 (x86_64)),
and the only python I could find in the repositories was 2.4.2-18.22.
I would like to be able to upgrade bzr many times in the future, but
can't see python 2.5 being made available in the sles 10 repositories.
