Thanks for bringing this up, Miro.

I did a spot check of a few of the BZs and it looks like some of those
build failures are unrelated to Python 3.8 but are due to other
dependencies. Do you have a good sense of how many of the failures are
due to Python 3.8 and how many are coincidental?
Benefits:
- we would not be stressed by the immediate mass rebuild deadline
- we would not need to care about ABI incompatibilities between beta releases,
because the last beta should be out when we start
Negatives:
- the users would get 3.8 as the main python3 about 6 months later, but they
already have Python 3.8 interpreter in Fedora to develop on
From my perspective, it's worth waiting until F32 to avoid the
potential for important changes in a key package. I don't see anything
in the upstream feature set[1] that would justify the risk we'd be
subjecting ourselves (particularly the QA team) to.
