We also need to think about 5.0. The plan 
(http://trac.vex.net:8000/pgtracker/roadmap) is that 5.0 should run with 
both Py 2+3. This will be much easier when 5.0 requires Py 2.6, which 
also allows us to support named tuples 
(http://trac.vex.net:8000/pgtracker/ticket/22).

The 4.x branch is our backward compatible maintenance branch, therefore 
we shouldn't push ahead so quickly here, but maybe require Py 2.4 in 4.1 
and Py 2.5 in 4.2?

I suggest pushing forward to 4.1 now and thereafter creating a 4.x 
branch in the repository, working towards 5.0 in the trunk. Some of the 
improvements and fixes from the trunk can be backported to 4.2.
