[oi-dev] Notes on marking python-24 obsolete

[Alexander Pyhalov]

Hello.
While looking at python 2.6, 2.7 components,
I see they still have to take into consideration python 2.4 existence.

I think it's time to review python24 removal.

I see that virt-manager was rempoved from oi-jds:
http://hg.opensolaris.cz/oi-jds/log?rev=virt-manager
But it is still present in oi 151a8.
Perhaps, it's time to remove it.

As for epydoc, it is not supported upstream, so I'd prefer to
mark it obsolete too.

Now postgres-84/language-bindings and mercurial doesn't depend on python 
2.4.

So, it seems we are ready to mark python 2.4 and all dependent stuff 
obsolete.
Any objections?
