Just to be clear I'm only talking about unit tests right now which are
generally light on resource requirements. However it would be great to also
have py38 function test enablement and periodic would make sense for
function tests at this point. For unit tests though it seems the benefit of
knowing whether your patch regresses unit tests for the latest python
version far outweighs the resources required, so I don't see much benefit
in adding periodic unit test jobs.

Do you feel the same on the 2 points above for unit test enablement?

Any idea so far from manual py38 testing if there are breaking changes that

I don't have enough details yet so I'll have to get back to you on that but
yes there is breakage that I haven't dug into yet.

Ok, makes sense.
