I think this will require updating the PEP, at the very least:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/#the-manylinux1-policy

I think we should focus our efforts on releasing manylinux2010 ASAP:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0571/

We need the community's help to review the PR here:

 https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/pull/182
