Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots
Salt needs to provide security fixes to 3006.x until July 2027. Python 3.10 ends security patching in the October of 2026.
Bump the python version we ship in 3006.x to Python 3.11 so that python security release align more with Salt's. Ensure we properly notify users of this change and that the 'extras' directory will change requiring re-installation of Salt extensions with the upgrade.
