How likely are you to nee the latest and greatest numpy but not a new
PyGTK, or a new name_your_package_here. And, in fact, other packages
drop support for older Python's too.

However, what I can imagine is pretty irrelevant -- sorry I brought it
up -- either there are a significant number of folks for whom support
for old Pythons in important, or there aren't.
