It won't break any _existing_ code, but it could cause compatibility for
_future_ code. Imagine I wrote some code for 3.2.2 where this change was
backported and worked *only* with this fix. That would mean my code would
fail in any Python 3.2.1 or older interpreter. That's simply not acceptable
as that means that code would be magically busted for some versions of
Python 3.2 but not all of them.

I'm just sorry it took so long to resolve. Life has been crazy for me in
2011.
