I mean tracking what works on what platforms.  Python is good enough that if it works on one it really should work on the rest.  So we can say "We use Python 3.10" and that's the only assertion which just says we've tested it on one of our platforms and it works.  Any other problems can come in as MRs or issues.

CI would be focused on testing RTEMS and not testing how widely our tools work we're a volunteer effort when we do have source CI working and if someone wants to fund such an effort we wouldn't say no.  It's on the radar but long, long down the road it is for sure something we want to do eventually.

As you said patches will always be welcome it's not like we're saying we don't care just saying we can only assert what we're using so at least we can say "We know it works on this version".

FYI a lot of our issues came out from supporting Python 2 and 3.  I'll be making an effort soon to get rid of all Python 2 code and test down to Python 3.10.  3.9 is EOL in October but it _should_ work on lower versions I'm going to try and avoid using anything too modern.
