It was? I don't remember this... I certainly wanted to make sure etch didn't release with ancient, lingering versions of python like 2.1 and 2.2, but from a release POV I never had strong feelings about getting rid of python 2.3, which was the current version in sarge. Indeed, it would be nice to have overlap in the supported versions between one release and the next, though this doesn't outweigh any concerns about being able to provide security support. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
