Dear all,

I have migrated all my systems to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
(this release being announced to be "supported" for 10 years ...),
and the default python3 is 3.6.9 (as of today).

It seems python 3.6 is also available on RHEL (7 or 8,
see https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/08/13/install-python3-rhel/)
or CentOS (https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-python-3-on-centos-7/)

So dropping 3.5 should not be a problem :-)

Best,

Stéphane
