Instead, I think the PEP should propose a special series of server enhancement releases that are based on the final 2.7 maintenance release (2.7.8 or 2.7.9) but which have have a different application-specific enhancement policy.
This is an interesting idea. My biggest problem with it is that, at least with the ssl library, these aren’t server-only problems. If we suggest that they are, we end up in the same position we’re in right now (that is, hurting the internet).
For example, Python 2.7’s ssl module lacks the OP_NO_COMPRESSION option for OpenSSL,
This is easy to change in a bugfix release, though. Someone just has to open an issue and write a patch.
