I don't need 2.3.  I don't need 2.4 either.  I was actually wondering if the "2.4" was a typo.

It's not clear to me that there's much need for new packaging tools in older versions.

Some people are building new code that needs to work with some platforms that are requiring 2.5 and sometimes 2.4 (like some old REHL that are still in use in big companies). I need 2.5 at least myself.

And once you have 2.5 support, 2.4 is not really different. The big gap is 2.6 because of syntax changes like "with".
