Geospatial libraries are typically supported for 5 years. GEOS 3.9.0 was
released in December 2020 and therefore support could be removed. See
[https://github.com/libgeos/geos/blob/main/NEWS.md News].

The motivation for this is that this
[https://github.com/django/django/pull/20707 PR] proposes to add a feature
that is available in GEOS 3.10+.

Hi David,

I don't see anywhere in the codebase we using {{{ 3.9 }}} version. We
always making sure that version should be at least {{{ >=3.12 }}} .

But in
docs[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/ref/contrib/gis/install/geolibs/]
we mentions the version {{{ 3.9 }}}. So when we say drop support for {{{
GEOS 3.9 }}} means remove {{{ 3.9 }}} from docs.

I have feeling that i'm going in wrong direction. I would really
appreciate if you could help me out.

Comment (by David Smith):

It is possible that only a docs change is needed.

Please see the links in Natalia's comment for inspiration on what is
required. These show the changes made when removing support for old
versions of GEOS.
