Last but not least: not supported does not necessarily mean we
have to actively remove bits that work around quirks for a
certain version;
rather,
it means we won't fix bugs due to an old
python version.
I would be more radical. What I would like to see is a cleaner
code without unneccessary branches, and free use of some basic
tools such as conditional (x if cond. else y) that is widely used
in the world of programming. But let's see the survey first.
We have fixed bugs due to old py2.4 in r9227 and r9740 but I don't
like it anymore if it diverges to the rewrite branch to much (or
other future branches like 3.X support). interwiki.py is a good
sample for really old code stuff like nested try statements for
exception handling and finally handling. And we shouldn't be forced
to keep code for pre 2.4 releases like "set" and "sorted".
