I think the short answer is yes, we are trying to support 2.6 in the future. I agree with this notion since I would like RHEL6 default python support, but wouldn't cry if I had to use a custom 2.7 install. The real question here is why is there confusion about this, and why does SCons since 2.3.0 complain about pre-2.7 versus pre-2.6 if we are trying to support 2.6? That is a question I cannot answer... I think that we should either drop 2.6 support or fix the documentation and development expectations. Maybe the confusion with 2.7 is related to python 3 support? Once that branch roles out we probably cannot reasonably expect to support 2.6.
