Because Python 2.3 packages are distributed for the vendor installed  
Python 2.3, which will almost definitely disappear.

Sure, once 10.5 comes out, you can probably install a Python 2.3  
interpreter and use old stuff (though I certainly won't care to  
support that), but the act of installing 10.5 will break things.
