At this point, the burden of keeping 2.4 compatibility is too high for
ongoing development.

If your underlying stability requirements are such that you cannot
upgrade, or even install and use a newer non-RPM python, then you should
stick with the stable ZTK 1.0 release.  Note that nothing prevents us
from making a 1.0.x release containing package versions with critical
fixes backported (although I don't think anybody is signed up to do that
work at present).
