Urk.  Most of the Macs within arm's reach have a default Python of
2.6.  I'm sure it's in common use "out there," and where else can
people go to research issues for old versions?

How about a reactor that automatically closes issues that only apply
to retired versions, and returns a page notifying the submitter of
that fact?  Optionally, change "2.6" to "retired" in the UI versions
list?

Unfortunately, I can't volunteer to look into creating such a reactor
and documenting it for at least 8 weeks (it's been well over a year
since I've looked at roundup, it's not going to be a one-day project
for me), so I won't take it amiss if this suggestion is summarily
dismissed.
