We've already got corrosion on the terminals the leaky batteries-included
stdlib (ssl, anyone?).  I see nothing wrong with rejecting additional
batteries proposed purely FBO organizations who have the kind of policies
you describe, but don't contribute blood-or-treasure toward their
maintenannce (*especially* because they are in the "enterprise" space,
and could be expected to pay for that kind of support).

This kind of "Python-in-a-tie" discussion is probably moot for any
version of Python that python-dev actually cares about, BTW:  by the time
such organizations get around to using 3.5, it likely won't even be
getting security releases from the core developers.
