This is the core of my position, too. I think it's reasonable to support Python versions for some time after they go EOL, but I don't think that we need to treat "users who want bleeding-edge Postgres with long-EOL dependencies" as something to cater to, at the expense of the committer testing matrix. Note that Meson itself has updated to Python 3.7 as a minimum version (as it now warns you, loudly). Thanks, --Jacob
