Some people do keep 1.5.2 on their system, but it's hard to tell what's
their reason (that's a "frequently not answered question" on
comp.lang.python). Perhaps it's just they are lazy. RedHat remained for a
long time on 1.5.2 cause they frighten incompatibilities with their
system-scripts written in python, but they have skipped this position and
switched to a recent version.
