I think it makes sense to have

"Progamming Language :: Python :: Backport"

and

"Progamming Language :: Python :: Backport :: Standard Library"

While we're on the subject of classifiers, IMO it would also be helpful to be able to identify (the growing number of) projects which are 2 and 3 compatible without the need for 2to3 to be run. So perhaps

"Progamming Language :: Python :: Python2and3"

or some such.

How is that any better than specifying the Python 2 classifier and the Python 3 one? One should specify every individual version of Python that a project is supposed to be compatible with anyway so I don't see the benefit of knowing through a classifier if 2to3 is needed or not.
