Right, Ubuntu 16.04 has Python 3.5.x and later has 3.6 or higher.  It's
reasonable to ask what the minimum host version is going to be and how

That's not too bad, so we can go with that.  Can you please chime in on
the "Minimum Python 3 version?" thread with what I assume is your
use-case of needing to use older-than-latest-LTS distributions?

OK, I'll get on top of that, thanks.
