I think this will break CentOS-6.x and RHEL-6.x because they don't
have python 2.7 RPMs yet.

So, OVS master needs python 2.7. (I was able to install python 2.7
from sources on CentOS 6). We have the same problem for Xenserver
platforms too. There was a long discussion sometime back where the
decision for made to move to python 2.7. I don't know what is a good
way to solve this predicament.
