Our policy says "buildbot builder" explicitly as the basis for support. Plus, Travis is some Pythons yolo'd onto a random Ubuntu for the purposes of smoke testing for people without access to our full build fleet; and the support for Python in Twisted has so far been on the basis of "what are people actually using" -- hence why we don't have a 3.3 or 3.4, as they are only generally available on EOL'd or enterprise distributions (which are unlikely to be used by people who want/can get the newest Twisted).
