Unlikely.  BFG made a major release every six months or so.

TBH, I'm only theoretically interested in Py3K stuff.  There is a much
larger installed base of 2.X users, some of whom, for OS compatibility
reasons just cannot run 2.6 or 2.7 yet.  So I'd be fine with dropping
official 2.4 support soon, but preferably not in the 1.0 version.  I
definitely don't want to drop 2.5 support in the first version or the
next version unless there's some compelling reason to do so that isn't
just for the sake of theoretical forward 3.X compatibility.
