- notes:
- Don't drop py3.10 according to download data and numba is a major depedency in the numeric stack
- Won't re-introduce py3.9 due to massive work.
- Future deprecation schedule needs to be data driven

- should we build next releases for osx-64 -- given that Anaconda will stop building packages for this platform on Friday 15th August...? (Val)
