Since Black requires Python >=3.6, which would set the minimum Python version to 3.6 for contributing to xarray (which currently requires Python >= 3.5), are there any plans of dropping Python 3.5 support in the near future?

I don't think these decisions need to be coupled. It's OK to make contributors upgrade to a newer version of Python before all our users.

There are no immediate plans to drop Python 3.5 support, but we haven't really discussed it either. I think it would definitely make sense to drop Python 3.5 after Python 3.8 is available, maybe sooner. Four major Python versions would definitely be too many.
