It is the official policy of the Chia Blockchain project to end software support (in particular Python versions), as well as operating systems.
Chia blockchain project intends that if the original maintainer of a software or operating system no longer supports a given version, the Chia Blockchain project does not intend to continue providing support for it.
If a long-term support version of an operating system uses a default Python version that has lost official support, we also intend to end support for that operating system version, so as to avoid issues with installing a new Python version via Chia install, which may break crucial operating system components.
