[Nix-dev] end-of-life kernels

Is anyone still using linux 2.6.15 or 2.6.35 or 3.1 or 3.3 or 3.5 ?
If not, we should probably take them out, as they won't be receiving
updates any more.

As for 2.6.35, a downgrade to 2.6.34 or 2.6.32 would do the trick,
they receive long-time support.
2.6.32 is in nixpkgs already, 2.6.34 isn't. Just having 1 long-term
2.6 around (2.6.32) would clear up nixos kernel stuff nicely.

Does anyone object to removing any of these?
