Bowen Song commented on CASSANDRA-17450:
----------------------------------------
I hugely dislike that policy.
I should also note that I currently manage very large of servers with CentOS 7
on them. The effort to upgrade the OS was started about 2 years ago, but I
would expect it takes further 2-3 years to fully complete. If Cassandra stops
supporting Python 3.6, I will be forced to run an old version until the OS
upgrade is completed. This is much bigger security risk, as Cassandra has to
talk to clients over the network, but an old Python version will only be used
to run trusted code locally, such as cqlsh and Ansible modules.
