One possible barometer for the situation is what's the oldest version
of Python to have been supported in the most bug-fix releases?

...In which case you need to maintain backwards compatibility with
2.3.

(I bring this up to illustrate that if there are people clamoring for
a 2.3 updates, there are probably quite a few supporting 2.4 as well.)
