Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v9 01/12] CI: make Python version configurable

["Michael Kubacki" <mikuback@linux.microsoft.com>]

I think you should update Ubuntu-GCC5.yml to use templates/defaults.yml 
in this commit since at this point in time containers are not used yet.

Can you also add a copyright header to defaults.yml? Then it will be 
consistent with other yaml files and in place as the file grows in the 
future.

Thanks,
Michael
