I have no objections, but know people that do :). I ever know FreeBSD
committer that using old zope.
We have only three ports, that wish exactly python 2.4 version:
net/honeyd (skreuzer at FreeBSD.org)
www/zope (estartu at augusta.de)
www/zope211 (estartu at augusta.de)
And only one port that depends on exact 2.5 version:
www/google-appengine (nivit at FreeBSD.org)
I prefer to remove both of python24 and python25 because they both EOL.
But I'd still set them all to expiration period of month or two. We have
such a tradition.

Our zope213 port didn't use ZOPESKELDIR, SZOPEBASEDIR so it may look
like this:
+if ${ZOPE_VERSION} == "2.13"
+ZOPE_PORTSDIR= ${PORTSDIR}/www/zope213
.else
I prefer to keep it as zope213 for some time.
