And I didn't want to add to the packages (the handful of python37-* I use) I build/maintain myself for my Cygwin installs.

move is in progress. Around a third of packages are already in place.
Anything you are particularly missing ?

same on other distri.
Debian seems to provide 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8 plus starting with 3.9

In the meantime we are also changing rider as the most expert
