Call for comments: Python 2.6 support will be dropped August 1, 2016

[dhermes]

Anyone who thinks they still need Python 2.6, please speak up here. (Sorry there isn't a better channel.)

Relates to #995

I am 👍 to dropping support for Python 2.6.... If they aren't making security fixes, it's kind of irresponsible for us to continue enabling it....

[tseaver]

I'm already on record as in favor of dropping 2.6 support.

[tseaver]

Oops, that should've been #1927.

[dhermes]

D'oh!

[dhermes]

Oops @tseaver meant to comment here (instead of on #995)

Can you help cut the final 2.6 release and update the docs / README / etc?

Today is DERP-recation day!

[tseaver]

Sorry -- I got stuck with contractors today. I'll tackle a release this evening.

0.18.0 release PR is #2048.
