Currently python supported versions for 2.x series are 2.6 and 2.7,
and so we encourage to update to one of these versions (preferibly
2.7, which is still in bugfix support, while 2.6 is only in security
fix). Adding those ancient information is not worth anymore.

but this is a nice addition, so I just committed it:
http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/4c6b1b2d481a
