You probably misunderstood my statement. I forgot to finish the sentence 
so I followed up on my own email and finished it. The whole sentence reads:

   That said, we can't drop Python 2.4 support until we've made sure
   Zope 2 runs on Python 2.5.


Anyway, it seems that ExtensionClass works on Python 2.5 just fine, 
except for the usual compiler warnings that you get on PYthon 2.5:

   $ svn co $z/ExtensionClass/trunk ExtensionClass
   ...
   $ cd ExtensionClass
   $ python2.5 bootstrap/bootstrap.py
   ...

   $ bin/buildout
