If you start to backport support for the fspath protocol, be prepared
to have to backport it *many* places. I expect that slowly in the near
future, many functions will be patched to support the fspath protocol.
I suggest to only do that in master. It's not that hard to cast
manually to a string: it's just str(path), no?

My allergies have hit me hard so I'm not thinking at full capacity, but did we ever decide if supporting os.PathLike in the stdlib was viewed as an enhancement or bugfix? Specifically I'm thinking of https://bugs.python.org/issue30218 for adding support to shutil.unpack_archive() and whether it should be backported to 3.6.
