Note whether azure-cli really needs an old version of Python #2407
Description
The documentation currently states, on the python3 requirement:
The RPM package of the Azure CLI depends on the python3 package. On your system, this may be a Python version which predates the requirement of Python 3.6.x. If this affects you, find a replacement python3 package.
Following the instructions on Fedora 33, I'm prompted to install an old version of Python, 3.6:
$ LANG=en_GB sudo dnf update azure-cli

I instead chose to ignore the python3.6 dependency and I got an older version of azure-cli instead, which states it's using Python 2.7. Is this intended?
$ sudo dnf install azure-cli -x python3.6

Dipendenze risolte.
Problema: package azure-cli-2.18.0-1.el7.x86_64 requires libpython3.6m.so.1.0()(64bit), but none of the providers can be installed
- cannot install the best candidate for the job
- package python3.6-3.6.12-2.fc33.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
