 Yes, but why do we need to hold the ports, that nobody using and will 
 not be anyway? All the ports I saw, that uses elementTree, first 
 checking if they can import xml.etree and if they not, then they will 
 try to fallback to standalone _elementtree. And since python24/25 will 
 be removed soon, there is no sense to hold them.
 
 The only difference between them is HTMLTreeBuilder class that is 
 missing in xml.etree (and that py-Products.TinyMCE is using), so 
 py-elementtree should stay until Products.TinyMCE will be ported to 
 py-lxml, and py-celementtree is safe to remove (because nobody using 
 it). This ports/155526 should be closed too, because it's now impossible 
 to remove this port.
 
 PS. The same belongs to simplejson/json case. Most ports try to use 
 bundled json module first, and try to import simplejson if they fail 
 (python<2.6). But there is couple of ports that need exactly simplejson 
 implementation.
