I looked into 3.6 as well, but the sheer number of patches we apply is a
pain point to rebase.

I am inclined to vote for 3.6 first and pick up 3.7 when it matures a bit
and is more widely supported. I have fears of rather massive failures in
our python ecosystem (especially in meta-python). Perhaps backward
compatibility will be there, but I need to be convinced. If 3.7 is widely
the _default_ in traditional distros we support, then I will sing a
different tune. Also, I hope to have a ptest strategy for python by the end
of 2.6, which would dramatically increase my comfort level.
