For new projects, sure. But since the v1.5 days I've deployed the 
current python version a dozen times a year on various one-offs so that 
I'm sure I've got every python version deployed somewhere, and they just 
run, so why fix something that works. Or upgrade it when a three line 
fix addresses the issue.
