Folks, This NEP is a proposing a standard policy for the community to determine when we age-out support for old versions of Python. This came out of in-person discussions at SciPy earlier in July and scattered discussion across github. This is being proposed by maintainers from Matplotlib, scikit-learn, IPython, Jupyter, yt, SciPy, NumPy, and scikit-image. TL;DR: We propose only supporting versions of CPython initially released in the preceding 42 months of a major or minor release of any of our projects. Please see https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14086 and keep the discussion there as there are many interested parties (from the other projects) that may not be subscribed to the numpy mailing list.

Hi, This is just a reminder for others like myself who have too limited a cognitive buffer: this NEP was renumbered and it's NEP 29 now https://github.com/numpy/numpy/pull/14086/files (just to prevent possible confusion).
