Hi all,

I'm a maintainer for a python based SDN network controller, FAUCET. One of
the platforms we've been supporting to-date is python3.5/oldstable.

Of course, now, python3.5 is EOL. To some degree we can keep building our
package under python3.5, but now not all of our dependencies (like pyyaml)
build or are even released for 3.5 anymore. That's an issue as there are
security vulnerabilities that are now difficult to address.

Given that oldstable will be around until 2022, does that mean python3 as
python3.5 will live on in oldstable until then? I can understand the case
for not adding a newer python3 version, but also OTOH addressing security
vulnerabilities over the LTS window will probably only get harder.

Any advice appreciated,
