@user3140225 I am just removing the lines after editing (no worries about mistakes as we will be refreshing the data later anyway) - you can do the same, or if you find it easier to see where you are by marking it some other way you can do that, anything goes. The only somewhat important thing is to mark the false positives so they can potentially be excluded when the list gets updated
@Kulfy @karel It doesn't look like an answer to me. Even if it was intended as an answer, I think that it's irrelevant to the question, since the question is "Why is Ubuntu not using Python 3 as default in their upcoming version?" and not "How to change Python 2.7 to Python 3.8".
@Natty ne This was rightly deleted, but if it weren't for the other answer expressing this, it could have been edited into shape.
@Natty tp To know quite what .tar.gz file is being recommended and how to find it, one must read the linked article.

@Natty tp Borderline. Just deleting the files might be considered a solution or workaround but I don't think this was intended as an answer or that it is really usable as one. It doesn't actually recommend deleting the files or say that the reader should do so, nor does it say how to delete them, and its goal seems to be just to comment that the author has the same problem.
I feel like that probably does not make it an unofficial derivative for the purpose of our site's scope, but I'd want to know more to be sure.
Does AWS call it Ubuntu? AWS is huge. If they're calling it Ubuntu (and not, like, "Ubuntu blah-blah remix" or the like) and Canonical has not objected, that suggests Canonical does not consider it to be an unofficial derivative. We're not obligated to make the same judgments as Canonical, but I would definitely want to understand why it's being called Ubuntu before assuming it is not Ubuntu for purposes of our site's scope.
(unrelated) Did my edit re-enqueue this post in the LQP review queue? As shown in the timeline, it was out of the queue before I edited it.
@Kulfy Based on the page linked this page, especially the "Ubuntu Server" section, I believe Ubuntu on AWS is considered, by Canonical, to Ubuntu, and that it is officially supported in accordance with the same schedules we go by here.
@Kulfy Not as far as I can tell, because in this case it was in the same queue twice (the LQP queue). As I understand it, that meta question is about a case where no single post was in the same review queue twice.
@Kulfy I assume this has happened before a number of times, because I expect it to happen for any post that leaves the LQP queue but subsequently has an NAA or VLQ flag raised on it. I am not sure if there are other ways it happens.
not no repro, although the OP's self-answer might benefit from more details, it identifies the cause of the problem and it will be usable by others.
Also, I've flagged this comment as no longer needed. It directs the user to delete their question, based on a blatantly false (and uncited) policy statement. I considered replying to it, but it's unsustainable to put in hundreds or thousands of times as much time and effort to engage with careless false claims that take seconds to make and that tell people to do things they don't have to do.
If this is a pattern then I guess it would be worthwhile to take the time to post on meta about it.
not off-topic, see comments and the linked instructions
I've rejected this edit that shortens a descriptive link to one non-descriptive word with the custom message "https://meta.askubuntu.com/q/5971, meta.askubuntu.com/a/5876"; so that the editor knows what the issue is, but I could instead have used Reject and Edit (to format the beginning differently, either with code formatting or just a paragraph break) and that's what I suggest a second reviewer do.
