+1 QOTW.
I recently gave up on trying to support (backport to) pre-2.2 in my
projects. It's been ~3 years since 2.2 released and that seem like a
pretty reasonable support window. I wound up with HACK and
PORTABILITY comments all over the place and too much boilerplate. Now
I go with a startup check on sys.hexversion, and exit with similar
wording.
