Code improvement description
Python 3.8 is now EOL'd by upstream:
- https://discuss.python.org/t/python-3-8-is-now-officially-eol/66983
- https://peps.python.org/pep-0569/
- https://devguide.python.org/versions/
So we should probably:
- Pick a "drop" date when we officially drop support for it
- Publish the deprecation blog post
- Within
dependabot-core
add it to the Python deprecated versions so it triggers a warning on the jobs. - At some point once that deprecation date passes, we can actually delete it...
My personal opinion: I think we should move quickly to deprecate it with an aggressive "unsupported" date, but other than that it's okay if we're a little slow to actually delete the 3.8
code... just so long as we no longer guarantee support for it.
