Version 5 plans/discussions

[Legorooj]

General discussion of thoughts/plans for version 5 of PyInstaller, the next major release, which will include breaking changes.

[Legorooj]

I'd like to drop support for Python 3.6 in version 5 - it's EOL date is 23rd of December 2021. I doubt v5 will be ready by then.

[bwoodsend]

Yes I agree. Although so little changed between 3.6 and 3.7 that I doubt it'll make much difference.

[bwoodsend]

Can we make --noconfirm the default? Unless the bundle has been manually fiddled with, a PyInstaller build should be trivially reproducible anyway.

[Legorooj]

Yeah sure.
