Hi all,

Note that this decision will force us to stop supporting Bifrost [1] on
CentOS/RHEL completely, unless we find a workaround. While Python 3.8 and
3.9 can be installed, they lack critical modules like python3-dnf or
python3-firewalld, which cannot be pip-installed (sigh).

A similar problem in Metal3: we use python3-mod_wsgi, but I guess we can
switch to something else in this case.
