Hi guys,
I have reinstalled my development box to ubuntu 24 (because the Rust support is better
than my previous install; ho hum). I thought I had tested everything in a VM before
committing, but I missed out on Avocado:
AVOCADO Downloading avocado tests VM image for aarch64
Failed to load plugin from module "avocado.plugins.list": ModuleNotFoundError("No
module named 'imp'") :

If I understand things correctly, the python "imp" package was deprecated, and has been
removed before v3.12. This is fixed in upstream avocado as of v93. But we have a hard
stop in pythondeps.toml at v92.
Remind me what the blocker is to upgrading?
