Have any instances of that actually happened? That would be a problem with any code in the Python library, not just external contributions, so I'm not sure why external contribions should be treated any differently here.

There have certainly been changes to xmlrpclib, such as support for datetime objects and an allow_none flag to support handling None values as a element. (I don't know if xmlrpclib is externally released any longer, so maybe it doesn't count.)
