Arindam BasuWhen it comes to #Reproducible research, the elephant in the room is outdated code and software that you cannot replicate or reproduce the results with. Yesterday I spent practically all day trying to troubleshoot how to install an outdated version of #Pymc2 and #Python36 on an M1 Mac to reproduce the burden of disease estimations. Nothing worked. So your code can be open source, you can be well-meaning, but it still does not matter with #Reproducibility if they cannot be replicated and tested.
"#Python 3.6.x will be removed from Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 2019 images.
"The motivation for the changes
"As per our software support policy, we are supporting only 5 most popular python versions while python 3.6.x has been #EOL since 2021/12/23.
"Possible impact
"If your projects depend on python 3.6.x they might be broken.
"Mitigation ways
"For #GitHubActions the python 3.6.x archives will still be available through the actions/setup-python action"
