Enterprise distros support their python for 10 years anyway. The lack of Python LTS releases results in most versions having longer lifetimes in practice than intended:

  - 3.14: Ubuntu 26.04
  - 3.12: RHEL 10, Ubuntu 24.04
  - 3.10: Ubuntu 22.04
  - 3.9: RHEL 9
  - 3.8: Ubuntu 20.04
  - 3.6: RHEL 8 (EOL in 2029)
