Perhaps you should ask the inverse question too: what 2.5 features do
you find so compelling that you are willing to break compatibility
with 2.4 ? FWIW, the only new 2.5 feature I have been using in
practice is the conditional expressions, and I could easily live
without them. 2.4 is still pretty decent, and a major upgrade from
2.3.
