The change was committed to the default branch. In 3.3, "import
xml.etree.ElementTree" will automatically use the _elementtree accelerator,
if available, and will fall back to a Python implementation otherwise. The
documentation of ElementTree has also been updated to reflect this fact.

Thanks a lot to Florent Xicluna for the great co-operation, and all the
others who submitted opinions in the issue. For more details see
