That's a backwards compatibility risk, though - many applications are likely coping just fine with the slightly corrupted time values, but would fall over if an exception was raised instead. The default should probably be chosen so that the single argument form of these calls continues to behave the same in 3.4 as it does in 3.3, emitting a DeprecationWarning to say that the default behaviour is going to change in 3.5 (so the actual default would be sentinel value, in order to tell the difference between an explicit True being passed and relying on the default behaviour).
