Using USE_PYTHON=2.4+ will still install python2.5 by default but whouldn't prevent the port form being installed on python2.4. So where is the gain in your decision. Python2.4 is still widely used. E.g. Zope doesn't run on 2.5 so all users of Zope have still 2.4 installed. Your decision causes many problems without any gain.
