Python 2 has finally been declared dead (as in unsupported) by its
upstream. And every platform that is widely used has a version of
python 3 available. From what I can tell a reasonable earliest version
of python would now be 3.6 as 3.9 is out and 3.10 is not too far off.

C++11 is now 10 years old pretty much and similarly every widely used
platform has a compiler with C++11 support.

[Yes, this is pretty much dictated by the recent withdrawal in support
of RHEL 6 which was the last OS which didn't have these things

We have already removed support for python 2.6 now that RHEL 6 is no
longer important - everything else has at least python 2.7.]

So I propose that the Proton 0.34 release is the last one that supports
python 2.7 and C++03. We will remove support for them and clean up
somewhat immediately after that release and move the minimum supported
versions as C++11 and Python 3.6 for release 0.35 and on.

Thoughts, sighs of relief, disagreement...?
