"Just use Python 3.4" ignores the reality of production software. I wish it were that simple because I love 3.4
But I think so does the PEP (i.e. ignore the reality of production software). The risk of breaking existing installations (which might not be affected by the purported security threat being fixed) is just too high.
Users that feel threatened by the lack of SSL features in Python should have long started planning on how to get to Python 3. It's not that they haven't been warned.
