M-A Lemburg suggested adding versions *as well*. Jean-Paul Calderone and I thought it was unnecessary as Jython and IronPython are now using CPython version numbers and different versions of all the implementations tend to target a specific Python language version - for which we already have classifiers. M-A Lemburg disliked the the "Implementation" part of the classifier (he was only -0 on it though). I think it is useful/necessary to have it to disambiguate these implementations from other Python-like-languages (like Cython and Shedskin) that can be used to write Python extensions. (As a matter of correctness all of these implementations provide "the Python programming language" and strive very hard indeed not to be distinct programming languages...) Nobody else weighed in on that particular topic.
