This is the core of my position, too. I think it's reasonable to
support Python versions for some time after they go EOL, but I don't
think that we need to treat "users who want bleeding-edge Postgres
with long-EOL dependencies" as something to cater to, at the expense
of the committer testing matrix.
Note that Meson itself has updated to Python 3.7 as a minimum version
(as it now warns you, loudly).
Thanks,
