Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic?) has Long Term Support. It seems to me that it uses Python 3.6.5 (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3). Am I right so far? That is an outdated point release because the latest release of the 3.6 branch was 3.6.15 (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3615/). Is this a bug to the "python3" package in "Ubuntu 18.04" or are there strict/good reasons why it isn't updated?
