That same recipe works with 2.7.  In general, the presence of
.installed.cfg should be thought of as problematic for any big surgery
(like changing bootstraps, or major versions of buildout), because it
hampers repeatability in order to make the build run faster.

When in doubt, remove .installed.cfg and re-run buildout after any such
change.
