> There seemed to be consensus on this mailing list thread to drop support for Manylinux 2010.
> [https://lists.apache.org/thread/dfsvcsmrmktgnqz9fyc9ym33zldwklyx]
> This ticket is to track it. The following was the main rationale to do it copied from the mail:
> CentoOS 6, on which the manylinux2010 image is based, has been EOL for over
> two years [1].
> There is now also an official announcement by pypa that
> manylinux2010 support will be dropped sometime in 2022 [2] that has not
> received any feedback on either Github or Discourse. Since the announcement
> the percentage of affected users has dropped from ~7% to ~4% of Python 3.7
> users [3]. ~52% of pyarrow users are on 3.7 so only ~2% of pyarrow users
> [4] would potentially be affected by an issue fixed by updating pip [5].
> We have already had several CI issues with the manylinux2010 builds that
> required workarounds. There are now also issues with verification as there
> are no aarch64 wheels for manylinux2010 [6].
