Arguably this could count as a highlight, but I'd prefer input from other maintainers.

I hesitated, because it doesn't really affect anything currently 😄 but I can change it if you'd like

Can't hurt to have it in the hi-lights or here ... Hilights might make more people come read it advertising it there ...

Should we link to the paragraph?

Not sure if I misunderstood you Cooper, but I think Richard was asking if it should be put in the "highlights" section at the very top instead

## Does Black support Python 2?
## Which Python versions does Black support?

Support for formatting Python 2 code was removed in version 22.0.
Currently the runtime requires Python 3.6-3.10. Formatting is supported for files
containing syntax from Python 3.3 to 3.10. We promise to support at least all Python
versions that have not reached their end of life. This is the case for both running
_Black_ and formatting code.

Support for formatting Python 2 code was removed in version 22.0. While we've made no
plans to stop supporting older Python 3 minor versions immediately, their support might
also be removed some time in the future without a deprecation period.
