I don't think making the Axes a context manager means dropping python
2.4 support
(note that I'm not saying we use "with" statement in the mpl source).
Everything should work fine in python 2.4 (please correct me if I'm wrong).
It just gives a user a choice. If a user runs his/her script with
python 2.5 and higher, he/she has an option to use an axes as an
context manager. Of course, if he/she want his/her own code supported
in python 2.4, he/she should not use "with" statement.
