    Regarding Python Compatibility for Collections  (github-linkbot,
    19:15:23)

* Minimum versions of Python for controller-side and remote-side
  (abadger1999, 19:19:27)
  * AGREED: We keep our previous voted on proposal: require 2.7 and 3.6+
    support both for remote-side and controller-side, and suggest to
    also support 2.6 on remote-side and 3.5 on both sides (always
    assuming required libraries support this)  (felixfontein, 19:43:35)
  * AGREED: The minimal bounds are adjusted when the ansible-core we
    depend on stops running on specific Python versions on remote or
    controller side  (felixfontein, 19:49:12)

* Any blockers for ansible-3.0.0 tomorrow?  (abadger1999, 19:50:12)
  * docsite split should be okay for tomorrow.  There is some failures
    on backport and wonkiness in the version-switcher but those do not
    need to block release.  (abadger1999, 19:53:07)
  * dmsimard's blog post for 3.0.0 is ready  (abadger1999, 19:53:21)
  * No blockers for release; ansible-3.0.0 will go out tomorrow!
    (abadger1999, 19:53:36)

* Python version requirements for module_utils  (felixfontein, 19:54:44)
  * AGREED: convention for module_utils: a) no docstring = everything we
    recommend for remote-side is supported, b) docstring 'Python
    versions supported: as for controller-side' = everything we
    recommend for controller-side is supported, c) docstring with
    specific versions otherwise: 'Python versions supported: <explicit
    list>'  (felixfontein, 20:13:27)
  * AGREED: module_utils can be marked for only internal use in the
    collection, but they MUST document this and MUST use a leading
    underscore for filenames. Making an existing module_utils private is
    a breaking change and requires a major version bump.  (felixfontein,
    20:26:20)
  * AGREED: collections MUST announce dropping support for Python
    versions in their changelog, if possible in advance (i.e. announce
    in previous versions when support will be dropped); if collections
    are aware of collection users (which import their code), they SHOULD
    announce it directly to their known users, and/or to
    https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/issues/45, and/or
    The  (felixfontein, 20:34:26)
