Let me throw my (rather non existent) -1 against removing Python 2.3 support. As previously mentioned RHEL4 is still on 2.3. At work we've got alot of RHEL boxes that we deploy Django against so 2.3 support is vital.
As I understand it RedHat is using Python even more and more for the system utilities, so they're more vocal about not asking folks to upgrade the install that comes with your distro. Chris H.
