I would assume that ActiveState, Enthought and Anaconda are the people we should be expecting to provide Windows binaries once the core team stop doing so. In all honesty, if none of those 3 companies can see a business case for providing 2.7.x binaries for Windows, then that demonstrates pretty effectively that doing so isn't worth the effort.
