Any plans for supporting multiple python3 versions in EPEL8?

[Orion Poplawski <orion@xxxxxxxx>]

   I'm wondering if anyone can shed any light on possible roadmaps for 
transitioning to newer python 3.X in RHEL8/EPEL8.  What we have now 
appears to be:

A module for different pythonXY versions:

python27             2.7 [d]       common [d] 
   Python programming language, version 2.7
python36             3.6 [d][e]    common [d], build 
   Python programming language, version 3.6

A python3Y base package:

python36.x86_64            3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7 
                             python36-debug.x86_64 
3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7 
 python36-devel.x86_64      3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7 
                               python36-rpm-macros.noarch 
3.6.8-2.module+el8.1.0+3334+5cb623d7

But python3- modules, including:

python3-libs.x86_64        3.6.8-15.1.el8
python3-tkinter.x86_64     3.6.8-15.1.el8

And since:

# rpm -E %python3_pkgversion
3

It seems any transition is going to have to be a hard break and/or we're 
going to need modules.  Is there any hope for parallel installable 
python3Y stacks in RHEL8?  Are we just going to have python36 forever?
