My attention has been drawn to a reply at 
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc/2018/10/msg00059.html> that didn't 
go to libc-alpha.

Carlos, do you agree we have consensus on the Python 3.4 requirement (the 
patch <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2018-10/msg00215.html> to add 
that requirement still needs to be reviewed)?
