Nonetheless, we need to make a recommendation to the buildfarm owners about what's the minimum python3 version we intend to support going forward. Do we want to just set it at 3.6, with the expectation that the meson move will happen before too long?
Well, the minimum supported version has always been the oldest version that actually works. I don't think we ever said, we support >= X, even though < X still actually works, about any dependency.
I don't care much to tie this to Meson right now. Meson might well move to 3.8 next week and ruin this whole scheme.
I'm okay with issuing some sort of recommendation for what is reasonable to test, and 3.5 or 3.6 seems like a good cutoff, considering what LTS OS currently ship. But I'm not sure if that is the same as "support".
