'python_requires' in 'setup.cfg' to indicate that we no longer support any<br>
version of Python before 3.8 [1]. As gmann has noted, doing so would mean nova<br>
would no longer be installable on Python 3.6 or 3.7 and there has been a small<br>
bit of back and forth on the pros and cons of this. I'm wondering what other<br>
people's thoughts on this are. Is this something we should be doing? Should we<br>
do it for libraries too or just services? Do we ever want to do this? Thoughts,<br>
