+1 for dropping all three. PyPy is still enough of a moving target
keeping old versions around is IMO not worth it. I'd similarly not
expect too many people to care about Python 3 before 3.2 (3.2 is the
special long-term-supported ABI release though, so that one should
probably stick around).
There's probably still some people using 2.5 but at this point I doubt
virtual/imaging is the only thing in the tree that'll break/require
extra maintenance to work with 2.5. So yeah, drop them from the main
tree. If people still need them, they can use an overlay / old ebuilds
from CVS.
