Are you looking for this? —

https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.9#python-2.7

It's interesting to notice that in that paragraph, we dropped support for py2.5
several years after it had gone EOL; and I remember that we added that
paragraph, not as a "planning ahead" thing well ahead of creating the 1.9.x
branch, but as a last-minute addition, shortly before the 1.9.0 final release.
That, and our failure to add support for Python 3 well ahead of py2's EOL, begs
the question of what _other_ dependencies of us are (or will soon be) EOL.
