   I'm not the maintainer of this project, so my opinion may not be worth much.

   Having said that, Python 3.6 is no longer supported. Source: https://peps.python.org/pep-0494/

   Supporting 3.6 add some complexity to the build system since the main distribution of pip no longer supports 3.6. Hence pr #118 removes 3.6 support to get CI builds working again.

   @garyvdm I understand. I will have the following workaround for now:

   # Dbus_next calls asyncio.create_task() which does not exist in python 3.6.                                             
   # All else seem working. See issue #127                                                                                 
   try:                                                                                                                    
       asyncio.create_task                                                                                                 
   except AttributeError:                                                                                                  
       asyncio.create_task = asyncio.ensure_future                                                                         
   import dbus_next as dbus

   As I mentioned, I'm not the maintainer/owner of this project, so it's not up to me.
