More generally, I think it makes good sense to allow dropping support for a platform in the next major Python release after vendor support for the platform stops. Even we say we support something, it will break quickly without buildbot validation.

Do you mean minor release? We haven't done a major release in about a decade. :)

I was going to suggest a similar policy for OpenSSL.
