True and False are not hard to backport, but any new features which are not replicable in Python 2.1 should not go into the stdlib until we drop support for it. Then, if we do, Python 2.2 should become the new reference and so on.

I think that puts the priorities backwards. If we can't develop the stdlib beyond what's supported by 2.1 we might as well stop developing.
