New features PEP 738: Android is now an officially supported platform, at tier 3. PEP 738: Android is now a PEP 11 supported platform, with the aarch64-linux-android and x86_64-linux-android targets at tier 3. The 32-bit targets arm-linux-androideabi and i686-linux-android are not tier 3 supported platforms, but will have best-effort support. (PEP written and implementation contributed by Malcolm Smith in gh-116622.)

Why test after making a release? Usually, tests are added before making a release.

In this PR you dropped 3.8 which is a good thing, but that means we officially drop the support for it (which we want to). However I want to tag a release before we drop the support, so that the tagged release would be the last supporting 3.8

Please let me know if we should bring Py38 back in.

The reason stated for sitting on this was that it remove the EOL Python 3.8 so let's put it back is so that we are running tests on Python 3.8 plus all currently supported versions of CPython.

3.9 will go EOL in a few weeks so I doubt there will be serious protest about dropping support for 3.8.
