What if all the backports were managed within a single PyPI package, (e.g. backport26, backport27) with clear policy on older Python versions supported.
This is an interesting idea. I thought about something similar, but I decided that this would basically end up being the same problem as managing the stdlib (I could be wrong, of course, but I'm reasonably confident of that :-), while decreasing returns would have long since set in. Ie,q even though the effort would probably be quite a bit smaller than managing the stdlib itself, the benefits would decrease more rapidly (that's just a wild-ass guess, and since you bring it up, I'm curious to see what folks will say).
