I think this would be acceptable as well, *if* supporting Python 2.4 in ZTK became more of a burden than an inconvenience. We can run the tests before a release. We don't need every developer to do everything in triplicate just because we support different versions. And of course, those who are interested in Python 2.4 compatibility should cough up and contribute to make that work. And as I've said all along: if some package really want or need to use things that are part of 2.5 but not 2.4, then that's a good argument *for* breaking compatibility in those cases. I just have a problem with putting the "burden of proof" on those who argue for not breaking with the platforms we currently support.
