Although 2.5 was one of those versions that started to be useful, I reall= y see no reason to just keep it around =22just because=22. Did a quick glance in the tree and couldn't find a package that only depe= nded on python:2.5 specifically. Please correct me if I'm wrong. The question is therefore: why keep python 2.5 in tree=3F Regards, -- Johan Bergstr=C3=B6m
