I think we'd be okay in not supporting Python 2.5 yet for this release. 
Python 2.5 has just been released, and the 9 months or so will give it 
time to gell out, Python extensions a bit of time to catch up with the 
newer version, and for us to do some experimenting. Linux distributions 
will likely still be supporting Python 2.4 (along with 2.5) at that 
stage as well.

So unless a volunteer steps up to do lots of hard work between now and 
march next year, let's stick with Python 2.4. Otherwise let's plan it in 
for Zope 3.5 and Zope 2.12
