That's not the date at which it is presumed to have unfixed vulnerabilities, which I'd put at somewhat later. I reallly don't know who is and isn't running it, but I do know that scheduling upgrades is in general not trivial. So this strikes me as premature, vs after the next branch, which means stable users lose it on 7/1, which is a good ways afer the last security release. In general I try to think of what's in the best interest of users, and I don't see that dropping it now is. I also don't see that dropping it now makes the task of maintaining pkgsrc easier in any significant way. So I don't undrestand your reasoning for deleting it now. > lang/python36 - more and more packages are incompatible with this > version of Python; we have 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 to choose from I don't see that as good reasons. The good reason would be "1) upstream has said there will not even be security fixes and the last one was on date X (which was a while ago) and 2) there do not seem to be any programs in python in pkgsrc, or not in pkgsrc, that work with 3.6 and do not work with newer versions." Maybe that's true, but you didn't make the case that needs to be made for deletion. (No objections to things not mentioned.)
