I'd be in favour of getting rid of this particular constraint, and instead focusing on API changes when deciding whether to bump the major version. Is this a reasonable suggestion, and if so what would we need to do to tweak our policy to allow it?
It makes sense to me. Dropping Python 2.x support was a more significant event, but these days removing support for minor Python versions after the corresponding CPython interpreter reaches EOL upstream is fairly unremarkable. We don't perform major version increments just for raising the minimum required versions of any other dependencies, after all. -- Jeremy Stanley
