Closes #4580
* Make yn validator case insensitive, to allow for ``True`` and ``False`` in config files.
+
+* The last version compatible with python '3.6.0' and '3.6.1' is pylint '2.9.3'. We did not
+ realize that when adding incompatible typing at the time, and all versions since are broken
+ for this interpreter. 2.12.0 meta-information will permit to download pylint on those
+ interpreters but the installation will fail and tell you to install '2.9.3' instead.
+ pylint 2.12.1 will require python >= 3.6.2.
+
+ Closes #5171
+ Follow-up in #5065
