Well, yes, I have just got it confirmed from our PM, SUSE has living and breathing (and what’s even more interesting, paying) clients using SLE-12 on s390 (i.e., s390x kernel with 32bit libraries). Of course, it doesn’t mean they are eager to run Python 3.10 in such configuration (how do you call such package? python3a so that “python3a” > “python39”?), we will have to evaluate with them what are their plans in the post-36 world with the modern Python there.
