It will run on Python 2.5 when somebody makes it run.

Then I suggest you do something about it. Making it a sprint topic on 
one of the numerous Plone sprints would help, for instance.

As far as I can remember, Nikhil (our GSoC student) looked at making 
RestrictedPython work on Python 2.5. Somebody should review this. 
Moreover, there are lots C extension that -- last time I checked -- just 
failed to compile on Python 2.5. Though I'm sure most of these problems 
could be fixed by applying suggested replacements in the Python 2.5 
release notes.
