- The end of premier support for Oracle 12.2 (EE) is November 2020 (with a
special "Limited Error Correction Period" until March 2022).
- The end of premier support for Oracle 18c (EE) is June 2021.

Neither of them has extended support. Therefore, Django 4.0 (released in
December 2021) may set Oracle 19c (LTS) as the minimum version that it
supports (see SupportedDatabaseVersions). Django 3.2 will be supported
until April 2024.

Comment (by Mariusz Felisiak):

We can also drop support for `cx_Oracle < 7.0`, because it adds support
for Oracle Client 18+ libraries.
