it is not being abandoned. i think 2.3 can well be supported a while 
still, like a year or two?
so now just prob just has to be fixed.

indeed :)

2.5 users can benefit from the gains there while we still maintain 2.4 
and 2.3 compatibility. i dont think it is too much an effort, most py 
projects support at least down to 2.3 still (it used to be down to 2.2 
for long, but perhaps not so much anymore - althought many certainly 
work on that too).
