Well, you don't, but users may want to browser PyPI and other similar
indexes based on products for Plone, Plone 3 and Plone 4.
The reasoning behind using major release classifiers is that package
authors may now want to update the classifiers for their packages
every time you issue a new release (by making a new release of the
package).
The unqualified category is needed for consistency with the other parent
categories in the trove index.

The above just follows the same schema as used for Python itself:
Programming Language :: Python
Programming Language :: Python :: 2
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.3
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.4
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.5
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.6
Programming Language :: Python :: 2.7
Programming Language :: Python :: 3
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.0
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.1
Programming Language :: Python :: 3.2
