Obligatory "what about Debian users, since that platform is always so
far behind": the oldest supported Debian release, lenny, has Python
2.5.2. In about a month we'll stop supporting that, then the oldest
python supported by Debian will be 2.6.6, in squeeze.

(Technically, squeeze still ships 2.5, but /usr/bin/python is 2.6.)

So, +1. Nobody needs to build Subversion on a platform older than
Debian's oldest supported release. (:
