05/31/2023, 12:49 AMWe have tests that are skipped if 2.7 isn't present, and I guess they are being skipped now...

05/31/2023, 12:57 AMI don't believe them. The python versions are Releases: https://github.com/actions/python-versions/releases
If they start deleting binary Releases - even if they're their own - that seems worthy of fleeing to GitLab.

05/31/2023, 1:07 AMWe can always figure out some other way of installing it, but the crucial point is that we have tests right now that are (presumably) silently not running

05/31/2023, 1:08 AMAnd we're not gathering any data about this, which I will fix asap

05/31/2023, 1:09 AMYeah, I still don't believe them. Going the extra mile to not download and unpack a tarball that's present along with every other version of Python
