Re: Python2.4 has been removed, now what for Zopistas and Plonistas?

from my point of view, only Python 2.4 and a few supporting packages
like python-setuptools, python-virtualenv, python-imaging,
python-celementtree and python-elementtree, maybe python-crypto and a
few others are really useful for running Plone 3.x, but there is imho
no need to support the actual Zope packages in the system. I've not yet
made an effort to figure out a minimally useful set of packages,
though.

My preferred outcome would be to have these Python packages in Squeeze,
but remove everything else that is Zope 2.10 related, as these things
are imho better installed using buildout, anyway.
