FWIW this is not true anymore. Catalina comes – for all its faults – with
Python 3.7:
❯ /usr/bin/python2

Xenial's 3.5.1/3.5.2 sucks and doesn't have some asyncio functionality (due to
it being provisional then?) which means things like Eliot doesn't work due to
aiocontextvars barfing on missing functionality. There's also 20.04 LTS now,
making 16.04 old-old-LTS. I don't think it's worth it.

May 2021 seems to be right around when Xenial (Which has 3.5) falls into ESM,
so maybe we can wait?
I don't have strong feelings, but it is a datapoint.

I was considering proposing dropping it soon (I was thinking when we had
3.8 support, that 3.6/3.7/3.8 is a reasonable compatibility matrix).
Why I think this is probably fine:
- Debian Stable (buster) has 3.7. oldstable (stretch) has 3.5.3, but I
don't think we care about oldstable.
- Ubuntu
I would like to propose that Twisted drop support for Python 3.5 one year
from now in 2021.
Reasons:
1. Python 3.5.9 will be the final release of Python 3.5, in November 2019
( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0478/ )
2. Python 3.6.0 was released in December 2016 (
