(python3.6 is still supported for the next 8 months. After that we can remove the python3.6 wheel again).

Is there any particular reason you plan to remove support after 8 months? It is very convenient for the robotics industry that the wheel be provided for python3.6. Many projects will be affected negatively by the re-removal of the wheel.

Building the 3.6 wheel takes time on the CI and that negatively impacts the developer experience. Also, anything that you run on CI is potential source of flakes/breakages and there's always some maintenance. Removing a wheel for a version of python that's after end of life seems fair. If you're comfortable with running something on a version of python that's after its end of life, you can always use the last version of 3.6 wheel that's available, you just won't get any updates (same as for python itself).
