That’s a good way to offend the hours we put here. Checking my own stats:
… and there are more of us doing almost the same thing. Maybe you went a bit off-track when making your assumptions.
But yes, we spend more hours in the helpdesk than forums, as we are supposed to provide responses to some customers that are paying (some are paying for the Pro and above plans just to get support). You might be one of those too, but there’s no guaranteed response times on the forums. So, we check here once most of our helpdesk queues are handled.
To answer your question, yes there are some technical limitations due to which we’re sticking on Python 3.8. Allowing newer versions would require a bigger engineering lift and that’s not something prioritised in the short-term. Seeing your question, I did ask out devs about the status, and it’s still “not planned in any short-term roadmap”.
