I think Py2.6 and Py2.5 should be treated with more respect. Will backporting this change can only cause relief or create headaches?. By definition, the Py3.0 release was supposed to be the one big incompatible set of changes. Backporting with a goal

Well, as issue 1689 states, the backporting was commited by Jeffrey on rev 5967 [2], so this is the time to understand if we want this or not.

Personally, I'm -0.

I was involved in this because of Decimal, but I can grow some methods in it that can be in the trunk, unused, and when ported to 3k fit ok in the new infrastructure.
