Comment (by gdt):

 As far as I can tell the FreeBSD column doesn't quite make sense.  I'm a
 little fuzzy, but I think python isn't part of the base system, but is
 instead in "ports", which is similar to NetBSD.   I think the culture is
 to run relatively recent ports even on older base systems, so my guess is
 that dropping  <=2.5 will not be a significant issue for FreeBSD users.

 The chart above doesn't have NetBSD, but python 2.6 has been default in
 pkgsrc for probably 2 years if not more, and the next quarterly release of
 pkgsrc (April) will have 2.7 as the default.   So dropping support for
 <=2.5 is fine from that viewpoint also.
