+Per recent discussions on the dev@ mailing list, that might be some
+form of "rolling" support: In each 1.14.x patch release, we would make
+an effort to support the oldest through newest minor lines of Python
+3.x that Python upstream supports at the time of our release. However,
+we could drop support for the oldest one if we have a compelling
+reason to do so.</p>

+<h4>Support for Python 2.7 is being phased out
+ <a class="sectionlink" href="#python2"
+ title="Link to this section">¶</a>
+</h4>
+
+<p>As of 1 January 2020, <a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0373/";>
+Python 2.7 has reached end of life</a>. All users are strongly encouraged
+to move to Python 3.</p>
+
+<p>As Subversion 1.14 is a Long Term Support (LTS) release with
+planned support into 2024, well beyond end-of-life for Python 2.7, the
+core Subversion developers cannot commit to supporting and testing
+with Python 2.7, or to fixing bugs that affect Python 2.7 only, for
+the duration of this support period.</p>
+
+<p>This means that although Subversion 1.14.0 still technically works
+with Python 2.7, any later 1.14.x point release may drop this support
+if it becomes too difficult to maintain.</p>
+
+<p>If you must continue using Python 2.7, our previous Long Term Support
+release, Subversion 1.10, is supported until 2022. Python 2.7 support
+will not be removed from Subversion 1.10.</p>
+
+<p>Of course, we welcome contributions that extend Subversion's Python
+2.7 support, subject to the project's other needs. See the section
+<a href="#enthusiastic-contributors">Enthusiastic Contributors
+Welcome</a> below.</p>

+<p><strong>Python is Optional.</strong></p>
+
+<p>Subversion does <strong>not</strong> require Python for its basic
+operation. Python is only required for building Subversion and for
+using Subversion's SWIG Python bindings or hook scripts coded in
+Python. If you do not do either of these things, then this change
+does not affect you.</p>
+
+<p>In more detail, Python is required for doing any of the
+following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Use the SWIG Python bindings</li>
+<li>Use the ctypes Python bindings</li>
+<li>Build Subversion on Windows</li>
+<li>Build Subversion from a tarball on Unix-like systems and run
+ Subversion's test suite</li>
+<li>Build Subversion from a working copy checked out from Subversion's
+ own repository</li>
+<li>Build the SWIG Python bindings</li>
+<li>Build the ctypes Python bindings</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>The Python bindings are used by:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Third-party programs (e.g.,
+ <a href="https://github.com/viewvc/viewvc/";>ViewVC</a>)</li>
+<li>Scripts distributed with Subversion itself in the tools/
+ subdirectory.</li>
+<li>Any in-house scripts you may have.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Python is <strong>not</strong> required for doing any of the
+following:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Use the core command-line binaries (svn, svnadmin, svnsync,
+ …)</li>
+<li>Use Subversion's C libraries</li>
+<li>Use any of Subversion's other language bindings</li>
+<li>Build Subversion from a tarball on Unix-like systems without
+ running Subversion's test suite</li>
