Re: [Health-dev] Improve SYSINFO command

[Gerald Wiese]

Hey,
I don't want to support end of life versions.
Just knew about Suse using it and wanted to make it transparent.
The last days I investigated dependency handling and I would even propose requiring Python 3.9 for 5.0, as we have 
matplotlib as dependency and its current version requires it:

https://pypi.org/project/matplotlib/

Besides Python 3.8 will reach end of life before scheduled 5.0 release as well (release January 2025, end of life 
October 2024):

Best
Gerald
