   1.
      1. What's the advantage of `deadsnakes` vs the default system repos for `python3.8` or a more complete Python packager like [miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)?
      2. I would suggest we stick to the lowest supported version of Python available, even if that means we have to upgrade more often. If we go to Python 3.8 it would be pretty easy for someone to accidentally break 3.7 support (e.g. using a `:=` operator) without anyone noticing until a user reports an error
   2. What else needs to be done other than update the docker images + fix any issues that come up with new dependency versions pip might pick up?
   3. tlcpack in general looks pretty anemic, maybe now would be a good time to increase support for more python/system versions (e.g. conda only has 3.6-3.8, no pip wheels are available for Linux), though I don't have any of the historic context on these things
