We are not dropping distutils. We're moving to support both distutils and setuptools, because setuptools doesn't support the minimum version of python that Xen supports. Therefore, it's important to keep some of the containers on distutils rather than switching all to setuptools. CenOS can stay as is, as can Stretch and probably Bionic/Focal. Any containers with Py3.10 or later definitely need to move, seeing as distuils is formally deprecated there It's sadly a little too early to make a Py3.12 container, which will lack distutils, but we can come back to that in 4.19. As Stefano points out, you should refresh at least some of the arm64 containers too. RISC-V and PPC aren't set up for tools builds set, so they're fine to leave. ~Andrew
