15.6 was released much more recently, and 16.0 only came out recently, so I think we are still on the hook. However, 15.6 does have a full set of Python 3.11 packages, so it doesn't matter. 22.04 is the blocker until April. > > Technically for OpenSUSE we would use py3XX-setuptools; > > py310-setuptools in particular is 67.6.

Not causing enough trouble to drop it early, we can give it one more release IMHO. The real problem with mandating certain levels of Python ecosystem packages right now is actually the large number of cross compiler containers we are still using that are running Debian 11, I have since learned, so I am dropping the suggestion for the time being until that can be addressed. > > Thomas >
