[python-win32] survey question: should data from database columns of type "adGUID" be returned as instances of class "uuid"?

[Mark Hammond]

FWIW, the most recent build of pywin32 has had less 2.4 downloads (15) 
than 2.3 (23), so dropping 2.4 can certainly be done as soon as there is 
some concrete advantage.

[hrm - but those download figures are suspect - I'm guessing sourceforge 
has recently reset them - but I think 2.4 is as "dead" as 2.3 is for 
most people]
