In terms of our upgrade / drop cycle. I am very much not a fan of chasing the latest thing. If we had a policy we wrote down; we won't thrash the version you write your rules in for X window, I'd feel alot better. IOW: this decision would be automated.

10/04/2021, 7:49 PMWe have a lot of existing work to do, no need to take on more at the moment. I think we can revisit releasing Pants on 3.10 in a few months.
