Request: drop python 3.10 support now (since it will not be needed for 7.0) #16900
Description
What is the problem this feature will solve?
In a few recent PRs, it would have been handy to just rely on python >=3.11 feature (#16886 -- Exception.add_note, #16892 -- warnings.catch_warnings(action=..., category=...). Since by the time of 7.0, we should be dropping support for python 3.10 anyway, how about going ahead and do that in .dev now?
Describe the desired outcome
Less work-arounds.

I've opened a draft PR (#16903) to address this, although note that we already have
