 When I said that the deprecation period for Python 2.6 would last until
 January 2016, all I meant was that I’d obsolete `python26` at that time,
 so all dependencies on it would necessarily have to be eliminated by then.
 That doesn’t mean we have to keep Python 2.6 stuff around for another 14
 months.

 I don’t use matplotlib or any of its dependents, so I don't know how
 important it would be to prolong Python 2.6 support. It looks like the
 alternative would be to keep `py25-pyobjc` and `py26-pyobjc` at an old
 version, which is awkward.

 Anyway, there aren’t //that// many dependents; I count 41.
