+1

Sounds reasonable, but given we test for compilation with 3.10 [1], we can
forget on 2.6.33. We haven't decided the minimal version, maybe we should state
that anything < 3.0 can be removed (it's probably to early to declare 3.10 as
minimal supported version).

np, it's really a detail.

Kind regards,
