    Hi, everyone.

    Since everything is going smoother than anticipated, I've been
    approached about moving the planned switchover date sooner. Therefore,
    the current plan becomes to:

    - switch the default Python target from 3.10 to 3.11

    - disable Python 3.9 target (the interpreter will stay)

    both on 2023-05-01, i.e. one month from now.


    If anyone sees a good reason not to, please speak now or forever hold
    your peace. This is also a very good time to look at your packages,
    in case they don't support 3.11 yet.


    The usual set of helpful links follows:

    some CI results for testing on 3.11 (warning: you need to triple check
    them, the testing wasn't very thorough): https://github.com/mgorny/python-bump-testing/issues
