CentOS 6 "Full Updates" support ends May 10th [1], after that "only
Security errata and select mission critical bug fixes will be
released". I think this combined with testing difficulties justifies
moving CentOS 6 into "extended" support for Asterisk. Probably worth
announcing to asterisk-users the OS versions that are no longer
automatically tested.

After testing with CentOS 6.8, I agree that it has become difficult to

I agree that 12.04 is old enough to not worry about
supporting. Because of the widespread use of CentOS 6 as an
Asterisk platform, I'd be concerned about abandoning it
however. Which tests (beyond ODBC) are you having trouble with?
Pretty much every rest_api test fails because of Python package
issues. The last errors are related to txaio and twisted.
The latest version of twisted to support python 2.6 is 14 which
starts a cascade of package interdependencies that can only be
resolved by using pip to install specific versions of things. I
could probably get it to work but is it worth the time and effort
to do so?
These are the packages that have to be installed via pip just to
get this far...
alembic
setuptools
requests
pyparsing
urlparse3
urllib3
virtualenv
virtualenv-clone
virtualenvwrapper
construct
pep8
autobahn
service-identity
construct==2.5.1
Twisted==14
Oh yeah, one of the packages we install from source (I think it's
sipp but I forget) requires autoconf268 which is available via yum
but it's a pain to get it to be used.

12.04 is EOL so not testing it is fine to me. CentOS 6 I
don't really
have a comment on, I'm not in that ecosystem myself.
