After DRF 3.16 release is done, it might be right time to drop python 3.8 support... until then

@auvipy I'd prefer it if issues like this linked cleanly to Python's deprecation timelines.

I'd prefer it if issues like this linked cleanly to Python's deprecation timelines.

I agree that's an ideal place we should aim for. If I'm realistic, though, we're not there yet. I think we should release bug fixes more often (perhaps on a monthly basis?) and align our feature releases (3.x) to be close to Django's.

Dropping EOL Python versions can be done as soon as possible to be released the next time we bump the minor version (assuming we'll never bump the major again).
