-0 If spark-ec2 is still a supported part of the project, then we should update its version lists as new releases are made. 1.5.2 had the same issue.
https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/v1.6.0-rc1/ec2/spark_ec2.py#L54-L91 (I guess as part of the 2.0 discussions we should continue to discuss whether spark-ec2 still belongs in the project. I'm starting to feel awkward reporting spark-ec2 release issues...)
