This is probably because all the other Pythons were marked as low

I think it can be useful to keep old versions of important pieces of
software around, at least from a continuous integration viewpoint: it
allows users to test their software against a range of versions and
variants of their dependencies. I’ve found it useful with GCC and Linux
kernels, for instance.
Yes. But in this instance I would have had to backport the modularisation
changes to Python 2.4/2.6, which didn't seem worth the effort. If somebody
needs the old Python versions, I can still do this (I don't think the build
process changed much between those releases).
