That's the question I'm asking :)

Python 3.9 is currently going to be a hard drop, according to our policy, and 
if Python 3.8 slips by 3 months then it will also be a hard drop unless we make 
an exception to the policy.

Paul's comment suggests we should avoid slipping/make the exception, and that 
it's okay to require the update, which is basically where I'm at too (provided 
the buildbot team are willing to keep an EOL'd OS running for as long as 3.8 is 
supported).
