kai created this revision.

Use upstream language in messaging (this is distinct with ports descriptions/uses of variables)
3.6 is currently in security 'maintenance status', and has an 'end-of-life' date of 2021-12-23
Link to upstream refs where they exist and are beneficial to the user

Something like:

DEPRECATED=Upgrade to a newer Python version. 3.6 maintenance status: security fixes only. End-of-Life: 2021-12-23 (https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches)

Address @koobs's suggestions regarding the deprecation message.
