   python3.6 aside, the CI images are all based on ubuntu 18.04 LTS which goes out of maintenance in 3 months time.  I don't think the fact that python.org have dropped support on 3.6 is an immediate problem, the ubuntu images in use, which ship 3.6 remain in support short term.  The more urgent issue is perhaps that of moving from 18.04 to 20.04 before 18.04 falls out of support.  That will naturally bring in python3.8 as the base python version.  It is probably also worth mentioning here that tensorflow already dropped 3.6 support, which means at least one frontend to tvm no longer supports 3.6.
   
   On the tlcpack topic, I agree with the post above, from a user perspective at least, tlcpack looks pretty anemic:
   - There are still packages on pypi
   - There are no packages for the recent 0.8.0 release of tvm.
   - There are no packages for most of the python versions in common use.
