"UP035", # PEP 585

Migrating to the new annotations behavior is something which I would postpone to after the next major release and after the currently open bigger PRs from the last days have been merged. This will probably happen next week, although we still need to have a look at getting the automated release builds to work ideally.

@j-t-1
this can only be proposed when we will no more support 3.8 which will not occur before version 6.0.0 I would assume to be not before 6 months from now. I propose to move this issue into a discussion

[stefan6419846]

But doesn't Python 3.8 already support the new annotations behavior? Or are there some limits I am not directly aware of (my minimum Python version I use on a daily basis is 3.9)?

PEP-0585 is for python 3.9+
