My understanding was that the yoga release would still support python3.6. This is important for RHEL8 based distributions that only ship python3.6. Do we need to constrain zeroconf to a version <=0.37.0?

Yes, that's how it's normally done, but they haven't officially dropped
the support tag for it.  https://pypi.org/project/zeroconf/0.38.1/ still
says they support py35/36.  So that's what reqs thinks.
