Looks like touching 2.6 is forbidden:

"""
jcea at ubuntu:cpython$ hg up -r 2.6
jcea at ubuntu:cpython$ hg commit --close-branch -m "2.6 is no longer
maintained"
jcea at ubuntu:cpython$ hg push
pushing to ssh://hg@hg.python.org/cpython/
searching for changes
remote: adding changesets
remote: adding manifests
remote: adding file changes
remote: added 1 changesets with 0 changes to 0 files (-1 heads)
remote:  - changeset 25b79170c319 on disallowed branch '2.6'!
remote: * Please strip the offending changeset(s)
remote: * and re-do them, if needed, on another branch!
remote: transaction abort!
remote: rollback completed
remote: abort: pretxnchangegroup.checkbranch hook failed
"""

If configuring mercurial HOOKS to disallow branches is documented
somewhere in the release manager guide, it should do the step of closing
the branch first :-).
