Python 3.6.x for Vertica UDx

Before I file a JIRA for this - is there a plan to upgrade Vertica to Python 3.6.x for UDx? CentOS has moved to 3.6.x as the default, so I'm having issues building UDx where I need to maintain a 3.5.1 virtualenv to build packages for UDx since some packages (NumPy, notably) are not binary compatible with Vertica's UDx process.
