[Buildbot-devel] Python-2.4 support

[Amber Yust]

Keep in mind that just because a distro has 2.5 doesn't mean that everyone
is on the latest release of that distro.

For example, Ubuntu Hardy (8.04 LTS) is still supported until April 2013
for servers, and it runs Python 2.5.

I do not recommend dropping support for Python 2.5 yet. Dropping 2.4 is
fine, though.
