Python 3.4 reaches EOL on 2019-03-16 and is no longer supported by the core Python team.

I propose the 2019-04-01 release (or another TBD) should be major release 6.0.0 and we also bundle in some deprecation warning removals at the same time.

• Drop Python 3.4

  • PRs: Drop support for EOL Python 3.4 #3596, Drop support for EOL Python 3.4 pillow-wheels#113, Drop support for EOL Python 3.4 docker-images#53

• From the deprecations page, but only if deprecated for a year (per Release Pillow 3.0 after 2.9? #1087 (comment)):

  • Remove deprecated (since 4.0.0/2017-01) PIL.OleFileIO in favour of olefile Python package (Remove vendored version of olefile Python package in favor of upstream #2199, Remove deprecated PIL.OleFileIO in favour of olefile Python package #2784)

  • Docs and release notes: Document removals #3600

• Anything else?

Thoughts, objections, additions?

If 2019-04-01 is too early, when would be a suitable time?
