in the past, this wasn't a criteria. Regarding the number of sumported python 
versions, ftp-master didn't want to have more than two.  Now, squeeze did 
release with 2.5 and 2.6. 3.1 was just the core interpreter and a handful of 
packages.  With wheezy we do have 2.7 and a more complete 3.2, so I don't think 
having 2.6 has additional value.

If your argument is to defend the status quo, fine. But I didn't see a new 
argument why to keep it.
