Description
Hi all,
Hopefully, this is not a critical issue, but I wanted to announce that [I plan on dropping FCM/GCM token support](https://github.com/web-push-libs/pywebpush/pull/163) from pywebpush. This should not impact sending Push Notifications, since that uses a different mechanism. Legacy FCM/GCM support was transitional and Google has [announced that it will terminate support](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/auth-server#authorize-legacy-protocol-send-requests) for the feature in June of this year.
I want to give y'all a proper heads up just in case that you might be using it.
If I don't hear back or there's no objection, I plan on merging the PR on or about Apr 24.
Thanks!

I'm not sure if and how this is related with Django. Django doesn't use
pywebpush.
