If Python 2.6 is the latest official Python version of the 2.X line that 
there is a chance that this version will be supported by the Python 
community in the long term. So supporting Python 2.4 or Python 2.5 does 
not make much sense to me.

RestrictedPython: I talked with Alan Runyan about this topic at the 
Plone conference....if we are serious then RP has to be reviewed. But 
who can review it and how long would it take. There are possibly only a 
limited number of people with the experience and skills for performing 
such a review. The last review took several person days (as far as I can 
remember). So the review process is possibly tied to some financial
resource in order to sponsor the review.
