Right, but there is no need to rush things, either, at least not as long as the port above has a dependency on it. > The only difference between them is HTMLTreeBuilder class that is > missing in xml.etree (and that py-Products.TinyMCE is using), so > py-elementtree should stay until Products.TinyMCE will be ported to > py-lxml, and py-celementtree is safe to remove (because nobody using > it).

I'd rather vote for keeping it open until www/py-Products.TinyMCE has been updated properly and lang/python24 was removed, so we do not forget about deprecating and removing devel/py-elementtree later on.
