While it is true that it can still be used with buildtools, that can also be said for nearly every other unsupported distro out there, including Ubuntu 18.04 that we listed as unsupported some years ago. Hence continuing to list it as supported with the new python requirement in place does not make sense. So we move it alongside of the 18.04 entry, into the "possibly tested, but you get what you get" category. And add an explicit mention of the buildtools, so people have a thread to pull on.
