For most part, it would not be actively dropped. Instead, we'd just
remove the restriction that new code must work with 1.5, and I would
stop producing binaries for 1.5, and stop testing with 1.5 - this is
why I'm interested in that (reduction of workload).

For the specific case of pyexpat, I'd like to remove the #ifdef maze
in which each Python release added its own fragments; this is becoming
unmaintainable.
