There is still no information why the decision is made.

Using USE_PYTHON=2.4+ will still install python2.5 by default but whouldn't
prevent the port form being installed on python2.4. So where is the gain in
your decision.

Python2.4 is still widely used. E.g. Zope doesn't run on 2.5 so all users of
Zope have still 2.4 installed. Your decision causes many problems without any
gain.
