No RHEL/CentOS release so far ships with Py3. Maybe RHEL 8 will. That's a big deal for where I work. We'd love to implement things in Python in our products but won't do it before Py3 is included on all customer platforms. RHEL 7 is among the most important Linux distributions out there, and it will be with us for years to come: <URL: https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata>.
