Description
Is tensorflow-probability part of the "Scientific Python Ecosystem". If so, then would it make sense to follow NEP 29, which suggests that by now we should drop:
numpy< 1.21 and- Python < 3.9?
The motivation for this is to make it easier to make changes without having to worry about breaking support for outdated versions. In particular, I had to check that https://github.com/tensorflow/probability/pull/1245 wouldn't break old versions of numpy.
I'm not sure, but this could be as easy as updating setup.py?

Research direction
Review setup.py and the NEP 29 guidance linked in the issue, then compare the current Python and NumPy support declarations with the proposed minimums. Check the constraints relevant to tensorflow-probability and the compatibility concerns raised by pull request 1245; done means the project has a decided support policy and matching dependency metadata.
