We will be removing the irrelevant apps (PythonIDE, PackageManager).   
The version number is going to stay.  I'm ambivalent as to whether it  
should be "Python" or "MacPython".  "MacPython" has slight preference  
because that's how it's been for years.

I see no reason to remove either BuildApplet or PythonLauncher for  
this release.

The contents of /Applications/MacPython-2.4 with the current  
distribution are: BuildApplet, IDLE, PythonLauncher.  It probably  
makes sense to add URL shortcuts to the docs and/or the website(s)  
though.
