Unless I am reading something wrong, isn't this:

and this:
1) Start with 3.8, and upgrade to 3.9 later (actually, pretty easy).
[install 3.9 binaries]
totally contradictory?
yeah, except i think what nick was getting at was that upgrading via
source is going to be bad, upgrading via sets is easy.
yeah, and one of these days, Nick will learn what everyone else has long
figured out: don't give long, detailed answers, as someone will try to
pick it apart and take it out of context, analyzing the text as if it
were a fine novel, rather than a quick "I need a break from helping

Yes:
Upgrading from source = difficult, if even possible by ordinary people,
and certainly not supported by developers.
Upgrading by binaries = easy.
