Well, zope-2.6 officially requires python-2.1, although it mostly runs
on python-2.2.  So, until major packages like zope move on, I think that
python-2.1 will remain.

Zope-2.7 requires python-2.2.3, but that release of zope is still in
beta. So, I am guessing it will be a while before 2.1 is dropped, never
mind 2.2.
