Indeed, especially now that it's caught Guido's interest. :)

It all depends. Right now our external requirements are minimal I
think, and the one forward compatibility issue is with the email
package, which we can provide as a distutils thing. Some future
Mailman will require at least Python 2.2 (/not/ MM2.1) and at that
point we can stop distributing email as a separate package.
If we can do the same thing with a future standard ZODB (maybe called
PODB??? :), that's fine. I can almost guarantee that Python 2.2 at
least will be required for that though since it requires new-style
classes, replacing the role of what in classic Python is filled by
ExtensionClass.
That all that is waaayyy down the road.
