Sadly, not if we intend to support RHEL 7 until it hits EOL.

That's still the standard Linux in all the big organizations in the US.

$ python --version
Python 2.7.5

FWIW RHEL 8 was only released in May and CentOS hasn't gotten CentOS 8

it.

Even paying RHEL users haven't had long to consider upgrading.
