Mainly the latter I think - most folks needing to support EL6 so far
have been able to get by with Python 2, containers, SCLs or conda
environments.

Script shebang lines can be supported via SCLs, but they need to run a
wrapper script that implicitly enables the SCL, rather than just being
a symlink to the SCL's Python executable. I don't recall the exact
incantation myself, but hopefully someone else will be able to chime
in with that.

Cheers,
