Python 3.8 is EOL. We can now consider dropping it.

The biggest advantage of doing this is nicer type stubs.

Could we first release 2.5.2 then drop the support for 3.8 ?

I agree with bilhox, no rush to drop it.

Yeah definitely. I just wanted to put this PR out there. We can wait a couple of months on this.
