I get your point. It is the 'back-ports' that you have tagged. These
were designed for 3.x and implemented in 3.x in the first place.
I was concerned that there will be policy drawn or a practice that
will close any/every existing Feature Request in Python 2.7.
There are some cases (in stdlib) which can debated on the lines of
feature request vs bug-fix and those will get hurt in the process.
