That page says "known to work" which is not exactly the same a minimally 
supported. In a unified build there's also no way to say LLVM requires Python 
3.6 but LLDB only requires Python 3.5 because we use the same variables and we 
need to keep that in sync as to not run the test suite under one Python version 
while linking against another.

I see the patch got reverted because not all the bots have Python 3.6. What's 
the lowest Python version that they're running? Is there a reason 3.6 should be 
the minimally supported version?

Again, I'm not opposed to this, but it warrants a bit more discussion.
