The decision was taken to make 2.7 the baseline for all of SCons. This
would be helpful in going forward with a Python 2 and Python 3
compatible codebase since lots of Python 3 is being backported to 2.7
anyway.

People then started the issue of 2.6 compliance and a few changes have
been made to the default/tip codebase to support that, but currently
officially as far as I know the base is 2.7 and all the 2.6 fixes are
just making the code ugly.

Confusion is rife on this one now. :-(
