lol, when it gets to nova.

The state for openstack is that upstream currently only tests on 3.5.
They are just starting to test on 3.6 with the stable release with that
testing probably going to occur for the 2019.1 release.  Until then,
most of openstack will be mainly on python 3.6.  That said, there are
not expected to be any problems with openstack on py36, so moving over
sooner may make sense (I was hoping that py36 would be in the rocky
release).
