My preference would be to say that we support setuptools 30.3 and newer, even if we can't test it

I have tested that setuptools < 36.7 breaks setuptools-scm; the installed version becomes 0.0.0 which in turns breaks any other package that contains a minimum version check (namely, pandas).

Also, I think we agreed when we implemented NEP29 that we should not support Python 3.6.0, but only the latest patch version for any given minor version of a package. Python 3.6.11 (released 1 month ago) is shipped with setuptools 40.6.

Any pip or conda-based environment can trivially upgrade from Python 3.6.0 to 3.6.11. The only users that have problems with getting setuptools >=38.4 (2.5 years old!!!) are those that use /usr/bin/python3 from a very old Linux distribution, which for some reason never got the patch updates of Python, AND expect everything to be compatible with the very latest python packages freshly downloaded from the internet. I mean, seriously?
