When CentOS8 is available, we'll be working on that more with TripleO to
ensure it's working and if there are issues we'll likely submit fixes as
necessary.  Currently https://review.opendev.org/#/c/632156/ should be the
actual support for the python3 bits as currently required when using the
RDO provided packages.  We're not aware of any outstanding issues but if we
run into them, then we will help as needed.   We currently use kolla to
generate the related Dockerfiles for building with RHEL8 and have posted
the issues that we've run across so far.  The related work for
podman/buildah (if desired) is currently being discussed in a different
thread.

As mentioned, we're not currently aware of any outstanding issues around
this so as of Stein, the python3 related packages (when available) combined
with an 8 based base image+repos should work.
