Breaking changes announcement for unstable

The latest python-updates cycle migrated the primary Python version to 3.12. This release has been particularly breaking with the removal of commonly used modules of the past like distutils or imp.

If your package is affected by this, make sure to bug your upstream about it, maybe they already noticed and you can fetch a patch.

In the meantime you can resolve breakages by pinning packages ot python311 for the 24.11 release cycle.
