This. RHEL8 is going to be around for a long while, so I'd say
python-3.6 should not be dropped for a long while. 2029 EOL is the date
I see on the RHEL8 Planning Guide[0]..
I saw the RHEL7/CentOS7 comments earlier and immediately thought about
RHEL8 and python-3.6, since I'm working in that OS environment lately,
along with C* being one small component of the system..

I would strongly recommend keeping Python 3.6 compatibility until

I would point out that the RHEL 8.* (as seen on Rocky Linux 8.5)
releases come with Python 3.6 and I don't see anything newer in the
EPEL repository for the 8.* series of releases.
