Status update
November 1st, 2021 @ 10:36AM EST by @ichard26
We've deprecated Python 2 support starting with version 21.10b0. Assuming things go as planned the support will be dropped sometime in January of 2022 along side the first stable release of Black.
From the discussions in #2247. The new FAQ (once merged) contains information on the supported Python versions. @ichard26 mentioned that it would be nice to have such documentation elsewhere in the docs too.
As discussed, the support plan seems to essentially be: "support whatever CPython versions are currently not EOL'd". This is for running Black. Then another question is formatting files, which is currently also done for 2.7.
