2.1 should be doable, the only reason for 2.1 modules is the jython
package, but that's in universe as well. 2.2 can be dropped, when
zope2.6 can be dropped.

there are still some packages having problems with 2.4, with the
upcoming 2.3.5 release we should get a 2.3 version, which is on par with
2.4 with regard to bug fixes. there is currently not much to gain to
completely drop 2.3 besides touching a lot of packages. the launchpad
team explicitely asked for some modules to be available for 2.3 and 2.4.
