HI Claude. Thanks for following up on this.
I’d **like** to follow a slower policy — I’d more or less like us to be able to say that if you’re on a non-EOL Python we support you. BUT I’m struggling to think how we manage it, given Tim’s points. If we were to make a bit more explicit something like “If you’re not on the LTS, then you need to think about updating Python and Django in line with the release cadence” then MAYBE we could drop 3.7 (say — I didn’t look at the dates again) after 4.0, obliging people to move up then. In general what do we think about that kind of thought? It seems to be Tim’s point about being stranded without security cover, yes? My thought there is that we could quite reasonably say, “You should be on the LTS, that’s why we go to all the work of maintaining it” for such a case, but I don’t know if that’s defensible. The other point was the size of the CI matrix (which the LTS makes larger still...) Not sure. C.
