We could likely consider treating 2.6+2.7-supporting vs 2.7-only
(and 2.7+3.4-supporting? and 2.6+2.7+3.4?) repos differently where
requirements sync and enforcement are concerned, but a first step
for that would involve coming up with and maintaining a list of
which repos have support on which branches for which Python
versions. We don't have such a thing today as far as I'm aware, as
it's merely an emergent property based on a combination of factors
in zuul's layout file (the names of 2.6-based jobs, which repos run
them, and the branches on which they're allowed to run).
