Another (final?) update. We are seeing issues with jobs that have bindep.txt
requirements for python34 from epel. In this case, you'll need to propose a
patch to project-config, specifically your JJB. And enable epel before running
our install-distro-packages macro.

Additionally, we have now removed python34 from bindep-fallback.txt. If you
still depend on it, you'll need to add it to your project bindep.txt file.
