Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux have sufficiently new versions of
Python 3 readily available, so from a distribution perspective, it is
not an issue for us.
Debian 8/jessie is the oldest (LTS-)supported version, and it has Python
3.4, too. Debian wheezy does not, but I don't think you can reasonably
use it for glibc development anyway.
Thanks,
