[issue39698] asyncio.sleep() does not adhere to time.sleep() behavior for negative numbers

[Andrew Svetlov]

The ship has sailed, this change breaks a lot of existing code without a strong reason.
I recall very many cases in third-party libraries and commercial applications where a negative argument for asyncio.sleep() is processed as asyncio.sleep(0) without failure.
