Not entirely true, some people haven't asked because they know the
answer already and they just install 2.6 in order to use Bazaar, SCons,
etc. whilst using 3.1 for their own code.

There is a "chicken and egg" situation here, no-one is moving to 3.1
because no-one is moving to 3.1.  The fact that major distros still
haven't caught up to 2.6 is probably the major factor.

If pre-2.6 is an important factor for Bazaar then thinking about 3.1 is
something to work on in the background.  The question is whether pre-2.6
Pythons are used by users of Bazaar.  Are there statistics or is this
just an assumption?  I have no data, I am just asking the question.
