There is a timeline (though admittedly hard to find) at
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/YVR-relmgt-stable-branch which says
Juno support would run through the end of November. Since Juno is the
last release to support python2.6 we will remove python2.6 support from
the test infrastructure at that time as well.

I personally probably wouldn't bother with extra work to support
python2.6, but that all depends on how much work it is and whether or
not you find value in it. Ultimately it is up to you, just know that the
Infrastructure team will stop hosting testing for python2.6 when Juno is
EOLed.

Hope this helps,
