Is it necessary to upload manylinux wheels at the same time as Window
wheels?

Pillow has uploaded 3.8 wheels to PyPI at some point within the last 24
hours.

Travis has Python 3.8 final already.

Appveyor doesn't have 3.8 yet, but should in about a week:
https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/3142

Pillow uses an interesting hack to install Python 3.8 on Appveyor:
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/master/.appveyor.yml#L35-L39
(although I wonder why they use 3.8.0rc1 rather than the final build;
that PowerShell script uses installers from www.python.org
and so should work with the final one too).

My Linux jobs that use ReportLab are also running fine with 3.8.  It's
the Windows ones without a C compiler that are annoyingly red ;)
