It is listed as a supported verison here for Victoria: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Python3#Current_Status

CI is run against it for our submissions: https://review.opendev.org/#/c/741447/

Consistent OS versions across our CI systems reduces the maintenance effort. It also reduces maintenance effort on development systems and testing systems.

Python 3.6 is built from source and installed using 'make altinstall' so it does not overwrite the system bundled 3.8 version.

For previous releases on Ubuntu 18 there was no problem running Python 3.7 when the OS bundled version was Python 3.6.
