The Django Web Framework also still has a release that's supported under 2.4 (although their most recent release requires 2.5). The original question was whether dropping support for 2.4 was OK. Since even Debian oldstable has 2.5, I don't see that as a problem. Moving all the way to 2.6 might be an issue though, so I suggest we hold off on that for now.
