3.2: I know that some projects, such as BTrees, persistent and ZODB, test/work on pypy3. However, pypy3 is only released in a 3.2 compatible flavor (though it does support the u'' syntax). From hanging around on #pypy, there is some progress being made on a 3.3 compatible pypy, but I don't think there's a timeline yet. So is this proposing to drop support for pypy3 too?
Not directly: we would leave it in as tested, but could clean up all the stupid workarounds for missing unicode literals (a disastrous example of allowing purity to defeat practicality). If other changes broke only on pypy3, that would be a reason to leave their workarounds in place until it supports the 3.3 stdlib.
2.6: Anecdotally (from comments in the github issue trackers for ZODB related projects), I know that as recently as August of last year, some zope shops still used Python 2.6 in production.
