At first sight it seems that quite some of these are no required anymore because either part of the standard library (replaced_by python27 ???) or old unmaintained software.

Yes, for sure. I will not be proposing to remove python24 and python25 immediately.

I'd rather not. I hate getting huge emails from macports-tickets every time anyone makes the smallest of changes. A Wiki page makes more sense.

I'm working on a deprecation proposal that I hope to finish shortly.
