And each port is responsible for ensuring they don't collide.

Right, 2.6+ put unsuffixed binaries in the deep framework directory, and then a 
suffixed symlink in ${prefix}/bin.


I think what Joshua is trying to say is that adding symlink support to 2.5 and 
earlier doesn't make sense. If you believe it does, could you provide a 
concrete example of a port, the files it installs, and the symlink you would 
like the portgroup to create (located where, pointing to where)?


But recall this thread was supposed to be about removing python 2.4 (and 2.5), 
not spending further time on them. :)
