Somehow that doesn't surprise me, they have a limited set of port  
maintainers and those can't possibly use all ports that are up there.

The MacPorts python24 port is a bit odd, I don't agree with some of  
their patches. Time to get moving on finishing my backport of the 2.5  
universal-binary patches to the 2.4 tree and getting those in before  
2.4.4 is released :-)
