True, but depending on location, it also has zero impact on the release.
In other words: added functionality for testing, with no potential for
breakage.

Not a problem. Mine easily replaces httplib.py in its current location. It
is entirely backwards compat. A new class is used to get the new
functionality, and a compat "HTTP" class is provided (leveraging the new
HTTPConnection class).
