Hi Anton, What difference does it make to you in practice whether or not SymPy is listed in SPEC 0?
SymPy does not really support old versions with maintenance releases so it does not really have a "support cycle" in the sense that SPEC 0 seems to describe. There can be a bugfix release shortly after a feature release to fix some obvious regressions but that is basically it. SymPy itself broadly tries to have wide version support for other packages like numpy just because without listing them as hard dependencies there is no way to indicate which versions sympy is compatible with. There is no way to put version constraints on optional dependencies in pip/PyPI land.
