[Pulp-list] dropping el6 builds of Pulp

[Brian Bouterse]

Here are some links to stories/tasks that have been written/updated
recently based on this conversation.

- Getting Ansible to entirely install and/or configure Pulp [0].
- Ensuring all Pulp packages have setup.py files with requirements [1].
- Publishing Pulp via PyPI [2].

In addition to the issue tracker, the pulp-dev mailing list [3] may be a
good venue to collaborate on converging/developing Ansible playbooks for
Pulp also.
