In tkinter.c, there is currently special code for Tcl 8.0 (no Tcl objects) and Tcl 8.1 (no Unicode type). Tcl 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 are supported uniformly.

Can we drop support for those two releases, in Python 2.3?

If it's more work to keep support around than to drop it, sure. I agree there's probably nobody who's still using any Tcl version before 8.3 anyway; that's been out several years now.
