openstack-tox-py36 is now run on CentOS-8 after commit 31c4a7a18e2bd43d2893563b992c683c95baed6f was merged. I noticed Python.h is not installed so we cannot install python modules which require compilation. An example is found at [1]. Do individual projects explicitly install python-dev or will we handle it in the common zuul job? Before proposing a fix, I would like to hear our direction.

We've also observed that the common mysqladmin invocations in tools/test_setup.sh files in many projects are failing due to differences in how MySQL/MariaDB are started or configured on CentOS vs Ubuntu.
I think this change should have been announced beforehand and given projects enough time to prepare for the switch. Or maybe even the TC recommendations for testing environments should follow what is happening in the real world and acknowledge that Bionic is indeed still a platform that is being used for testing. I've thus proposed a revert of the change at [0] in order to unblock the gate for those affected (including Nova and Neutron), allowing to reevaluate the necessity and usefulness of this change.
