While I would like to see Python 2.7 compatibility in a later Plone 4.x release, I would be uncomfortable requiring it during the 4.x line without very good reason - Python2.7 is still new and only just being picked up by distributions (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS does not include it for instance). Being able to run Plone with a vendor supplied python makes deployment much simpler.
