Mailman Core upped it's dependency on Python 3.5+, and only Python 3.4 is easily
accessible in EPEL. So we need to come up with a plan to rebuild all the dependency
packages for both Python 3.4 and 3.6, which was part of the initial python lib spec file
template in EPEL, but never got really implemented by python lib packagers. (see
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/python-devel@lists.fedorapr...)

Would it be too difficult to just move to Fedora for the Mailman +
HyperKitty + Postorius system?
Well, it would still be some work, just different. I know mailman3 is
under review, we would want that to finish up, then any other packages
we need, then fixing up any config for fedora vs rhel, etc.
Might be easier, not sure.
