Now I'm confused as well :)

OpenStack supports 3.8 and 3.9, CentOS/RHEL ships 3.6 and a limited version
of 3.8 and 3.9. Some Python projects may be okay with it, but Ansible
requires things that cannot be installed unless provided by OS packages (or
built from source). Examples include python3-dnf, python3-libselinux,
python3-firewall and presumably python3-mod_wsgi.
