All what I'm asking, is that when Python RC releases are out, and I report a bug, the community has the intention to fix it as early as possible, at least in master (and maybe help with backports if it's very tricky: I can manage trivial backporting by myself). That's enough for me, really (at least it has been enough in the past...). [...]
I don't think fixes have been refused in the past simply because they address a problem observed with a newer Python interpreter than we test on. Just be aware that when it comes to pre-merge testing of proposed changes for OpenStack, the time to decide what platforms and interpreter versions we'll test with is at the end of the previous cycle. For Zed that's Python 3.8 and 3.9, though projects are encouraged to also try 3.10 if they can (we got the ability to test that partway into the development cycle). We have to set these expectations before we begin work on a new version of OpenStack, so that we don't change our testing goals for developers while they're in the middle of trying to write the software. -- Jeremy Stanley
