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,
Florian
