Certainly I don't see us doing it for any of bzr 2.0, 2.1 or 2.2. I was
thinking more along the lines of 2.3 (or 3.0 :). As you say, supporting
3.x is lower on the list right now than supporting python 2.4. However,
I think this will change at some point in the future, and we should be
aware of that, and of tech that might help us transition.
