Maybe it would be OK to do one more release of Twisted and announce that as the last release supporting Python 3.5, before dropping support?
Yeah; whenever we drop a Python version we should always support at least one more release, so that people have some notice before they lose access to the next set of security updates.
Any 3.5 users on this list who would want to postpone it longer than this?

I'm (unfortunately) still shipping some Twisted apps on Ubuntu 16.04's Python 3.5. However, I am fine with dropping Python 3.5 support. I think it's certainly worth it for variable annotations and contextvars.
Would your plan to be to just keep twisted pinned until you can EOL ubuntu? I don't want to be putting (non-trivial numbers of) users into the position of having to skip a bunch of updates. -glyph
