So as soon as you put in the > interpreter.. then comes the 'why isn't python37-x there? etc etc' IIRC, that is exactly what happened with the 3.4 => 3.6 transition. What made that particularly painful for me was that the 3.4 versions of many of the dependent bits suddenly went away, to be *replaced* (rather than augmented) by 3.6 ones. This caused major disruption in a number of projects that I maintain that had formal dependencies on the 3.4 bits. Will this same thing happen to the 3.6 bits if we add 3.7? If so, then I would strongly oppose making the addition. Having packages spontaneously disappear seems to contradict the whole point of having an ‘Enterprise’ distro.
