Pretty sure the 2010 and 2014 images both have much newer compilers than that.
There are still a lot of users on CentOS 6, so I'd still stick to 2010 for now on x86_64 at least. We could potentially start adding 2014 wheels for the other platforms where we currently don't ship wheels – gotta be better than nothing, right? There probably still is some tail of end users whose pip is too old to know about 2010 wheels. I don't know how big that tail is. If we wanted to be really careful, we could ship both manylinux1 and manylinux2010 wheels for a bit – pip will automatically pick the latest one it recognizes – and see what the download numbers look like.
