The Infrastructure team's plan is to remove our CentOS 6.x job
workers and any jobs currently running on them (which would include
all the current Python 2.6 jobs) when stable/juno reaches EOL,
shortly after the 2014.2.4 release on November 19. If projects want
to restore Python 2.6 testing, they'll need some custom job to
install the desired interpreter from somewhere unofficial (e.g. the
deadsnakes PPA for Ubuntu Trusty) at runtime.
