As such, I would like to remove support for these Python versions. Using recent statistics (https://langui.sh/2016/12/09/data-driven-decisions/) we can infer that Python 3.3 is on the whole uncommon, despite it being the default Python 3 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. We can further infer that adoption of new major versions of Python 3 (Python 3.5 was barely a year old by the time of these stats and yet dwarfed 3.4) is rapid, and so it seems only the latest two or so are worth supporting.
The default in Ubuntu 14.04 is actually Python 3.4. (12.04 shipped with 3.2, and 16.04 has 3.5.) Due to this, I am writing new Twisted code which targets 2.7 + 3.4 right now. I'm not opposed to deprecating Python 3.4, though. Ubuntu 14.04 ships with a version of Python 2.7 that lacks SNI, so I want to shift to 16.04 ASAP anyway.
