Didn't a test fail because of this? seems the underlying issue is that this part of the stdlib didn't have enough test coverage. It seems that having very good/improving test coverage like is recommended for 3rd-party project wanting to switch would be a good goal for 3.0 evolution too. We know from PyPy experience that while always improving the test suite coverage is quite spotty at times.

No, a test didn't fail. Our new distutils maintainer, Tarek Ziade, though, has been increasing the distutils test coverage greatly.
