Hi,

I assume you have given this a lot of thought, but imho the minimum dependency versions should be decided according to features needed, not timing.

It's not based on timing. The policy is there so that, when a developer finds that they have to do extra labour to support an old version of a dependency, they can instead drop the support for the old version without needing to seek approval from the maintainers.

That's not how I interpret the link given by @dcherian, which states "rolling" minimum versions based on age.
