What's "the installed base"?

Machines you control? Then just install 2.6 on your installed base and be 
done with it. Or even 3.1 (but do yourself a favour and skip 3.0).

Client machines? I'm sorry, I simply don't believe any professional can 
allow your *potential* (your word, from a previous post) user base to 
dictate terms like that. What are you going to do, stick on 2.5 for the 
next thirty years years because *one* customer (or potential customer!) 
refuses to upgrade, even when *everyone else* is up to 3.3 or higher? 
I've got news for you: there are still machines out there running Python 
1.5. Do you write for them?
