Python 2.6 and 3.3 are end of life. They are no longer receiving bug fixes, including for security issues. Python 2.6 went EOL on 2013-10-29 and on 2017-09-29. For additional details on support Python versions, see:
https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches
Removing support for EOL Pythons will reduce testing and maintenance resources.
Using pypinfo, here are the PyPI download statistics for the last 30 days, showing low numbers for these EOL Pythons:

This change only removes the documentation of 2.6 and 3.3. Legacy code is expected to be removed in future commits as the changes are quite extensive.
