I'd like to start moving forward with enabling py37 unit tests for a subset
of projects. Rather than putting too much load on infra by enabling 3 x py3
unit tests for every project, this would just focus on enablement of py37
unit tests for a subset of projects in the Stein cycle. And just to be
clear, I would not be disabling any unit tests (such as py35). I'd just be
enabling py37 unit tests.

As some background, this ML thread originally led to updating the
python3-first governance goal (https://review.openstack.org/#/c/610708/)
but has now led back to this ML thread for a +1 rather than updating the
governance goal.

I'd like to get an official +1 here on the ML from parties such as the TC
and infra in particular but anyone else's input would be welcomed too.
Obviously individual projects would have the right to reject proposed
changes that enable py37 unit tests. Hopefully they wouldn't, of course,
but they could individually vote that way.

Thanks,
Corey
