I would vote the other way - keep 8.0, and ditch 8.2.

8.0 still has a lot of compatibility with older Tcl/Tk add-ons that
8.2/8.3 doesn't appear to have - note that the scriptics site still lists 
8.0 and notes that there are reasons for it still to be there.  There is
probably a case for not making a package of 8.0 though.
