Sure, but if you ever want to be able to tell users to do:
easy_install plone
to get their Plone site, it's a necessary evil evil evil. ;)
We generally encourage not to use the system Python in everything we ship
(Windows, Mac and Unified installers all ship their own Python) — but I
really hope we won't be stuck with Python 2.4 after the world has moved on
to Python 2.5 and 2.6.
I agree that for proper deployments, you shouldn't use the system Python,
but there's the case of letting people get started with Plone easily from
their Ubuntu or Mac OS X (Leopard ships with Python 2.5 and easy_install
by default) — we should be able to let them do that too.
