It happens in more cases than you think.

I sometimes develop two versions of a patch, one for the maintenance
branch which preserves backwards compatibility, and another version
that fixes it in the right way. I think I regularly contributes
two or three such changes to every feature release of Python.
I think a few other committers have also written such changes over
time.
