Makes sense to me, thanks!
As far as 3.7 and 3.8: my approach has been that I won't make any special effort to develop in a way that's compatible with an old version of Python, but as long as the package does in fact appear to be compatible (i.e. CI jobs on that version run and pass), I'll keep the metadata to mark it as such. Given that, I'd prefer not to drop the 3.7 and 3.8 markers yet. So I'm on board with this PR as is.

GitHub Actions has deprecated the
ubuntu-20.04runner, and it'll be fully unsupported by 2025-04-01: actions/runner-images#11101I spotted this repo is still using to test Python 3.6, which has been end-of-life since 2021, so it's definitely time to drop support:
https://devguide.python.org/versions/
Python 3.7 and 3.8 are also EOL, and I recommend dropping them too. I haven't done so in this PR, but I'm happy to include it here or in a new PR if you like.
