Python 3.6 + pip 22: Runs Technically; Python 3.6 Is Deeply EOL

pip 22 supports Python ≥ 3.6; Python 3.6 technically satisfies this engine check. However, Python 3.6 is EOL since December 2018 — over 5 years. No major library supports it. The packages available for Python 3.6 on PyPI are frozen at old versions and contain unpatched CVEs.
