The information that is available to me about this issue is lacking
details, but as far as I can tell, we are partially talking about
backbranches, which were released at a time when Python 2.3 and 2.4 were
not unreasonable targets. We're not going to desupport build
dependencies in the middle of a stable release branch unless we have a
solid reason.
