DOC: Align default with what the NEP draft says
We have three choices:
1. Be compatible with limited API (oldest supported Python version)
2. Be compatible with everything on the same Python version (this)
3. Be strict and default to NEP 29
This just rephrases things to be 2. Because our API version was not
bumped over the relevant time frame, it is actually also compatible
with the first.
