I'm not sure what you mean by tracking this compatibility. I can see  
by looking at e.g. python-ldap-2.2.1 the INSTALL document says "Python  
2.0 or greater". IMHO that's enough  information. I don't think  
there's any need to go back and specify the highest release the  
package is supposed to work with (I'm guessing that's what you mean),  
like saying "only works with the Python 2.0-2.4 releases". People  
should be intelligent enough to not expect compatibility with a major  
Python release that did not exist when a given python-ldap package  
version was released.
