Reducing the number of languages used by the project and facilitating
the introduction of more languages seem to be contrasting goals.
Accordingly, I would leave out the last part of the sentence.

Instead of esplicitly singling out 2.7 and 3.x, I would just say that
for both C and Python there it is required to support all platforms
listed in "platforms.html".

+ Languages that should not be used for any new contributions.
