I understand that. I am not asking to put all releases of Python on the repos, only the active ones, which people are using.
I presume you can back it up with numbers how widely 3.7 and 3.6 are used by Arch users. All I can see is that both have less than 30 votes in AUR. Even if I take into account how irrelevant AUR votes are, I assume the problem is exaggerated.
Why are we packaging software that is used by far less people but we can't package these Python interpreters which are being actively missed by people?
Our approach of "YOLO push random new packages to repos" is something I never agreed with, for the record. Unfortunately it's a kingdom with almost no rules. BP
