Going purely on upstream package release cycles doesn't tell the whole
story: a lot of people run LTS distros which will have older versions
of software we want to support.

Build out a table for us to quickly reference when making decisions as
to what versions of git/python we want to support, and when we can drop
them.  This will also help to refer users to as why we made a specific
decision that might be affecting them.

## Project References
Here's a table showing the relationship of major tools, their EOL dates, and
their status in Ubuntu & Debian.
Those distros tend to be good indicators of how long we need to support things.
Things in bold indicate stuff to take note of, but does not guarantee that we
still support them.
Things in italics are things we used to care about but probably don't anymore.
