Yes, I think a PEP describing both policy and implementation (i.e. which
platforms we officially support) is worthwhile.  While I think you could write
a new PEP, I also think it might just make sense to co-opt PEP 11 and broaden
its scope, since as you say, removing support is only half the story.

Cheers,
