On the reading that "supported" means "we'll try to fix a problem
rather than telling you to use a newer Python", I suspect that the
correct thing to say is 3.6.8 not 3.6.  There may be no difference
in practice; but if push comes to shove I don't think we'd support
a 3.6.x Python version that appears in no LTS distro.
