Another way of looking at these numbers is that 3.5 makes up a smaller proportion than 2.7, which we are now supporting only via the LTS. ;) But I am being facetious. The sum of 2.7 and 3.5 is more than 3.6. It would be bad to only support a minority of our users in master.
Thanks for the info! I agree, let's wait until one month after 0.15 and check the stats again at that point.

Ok so I looked at the command and thought, hmm, should that be scikit-image? After 30 painful minutes of setting up my own bigquery credentials:
pypinfo scikit-image pyversion
| python_version | download_count |
| -------------- | -------------- |
| 2.7 | 61,274 |
| 3.6 | 23,767 |
| 3.5 | 20,466 |
| None | 3,693 |
| 3.4 | 1,048 |
| 3.7 | 81 |
| 3.3 | 3 |
| 2.6 | 2 |
| 3.2 | 1 |
This comes with all the caveats of tracking PyPI downloads (most are from CI etc), but nevertheless: yes, let's keep 3.5 around. And let's make good on our LTS promise. =)
