Some more complications popped up recently when trying to keep compatibility with Python 3.9, which has been end-of-life since October 2025. We're considering dropping test runner support for it completely. For RHEL 9 and CentOS Stream 9 users, this would mean using container images instead or upgrading their distro.
The proposed change affects only the test runner (where the tmt command is executed); support for the system-under-test is staying the same, e.g. rhel-6 and newer.
