[Python-Dev] Code cleanups in stable branches? (original) (raw)

Nick and Brett share the opinion that some code cleanups can be considered bugfixes, whereas MvL, Barry and Raymond defend that we never know what can get broken and it’s not worth risking it.

I have added a comment on #13283 (removal of two unused variable in locale.py) to restate this policy, but haven’t asked for a revert; I did not comment on #10519 (Avoid unnecessary recursive function calls), as it can be considered a bugfix and Raymond took part in the discussion and thus implicitly approved the change.

Regards
