Python 2.3, 2.4, & 2.5 can be useful to test backward compatibility. Lots of people --especially in the corporate world-- are still using old Python versions. But in the case of OpenBSD I think that nobody would mind if those old versions were removed.
Somebody posted a patch to update Python 2.6 to the latest version a few months ago. It would be good if this was committed along with this patch.
