I'm not Anthony (neither, actually), but I do think this is a new feature, not a bug fix - assuming we are talking about the changes between datetime.h in 2.3 and 2.4.
This introduces datetime.datetime_CAPI, which is a C object allowing cross-module datetime calls at the C level.
This change is very unlikely to break existing code, as existing code just won't use that new API. This is good for a backport.
At the same time, this also clearly shows it is a new feature: only new code can use it.
Of late, I've found the True / False introduction in later 2.2 releases to be a pain. I'm writing code on a machine that has 2.2.2, but I occasionally run into machines with earlier versions of 2.2 and then my code fails. It would be easier if it didn't work on any 2.2 release, then I wouldn't be lulled into thinking it will work. Jeremy
