Quoting Victor Stinner <victor.stinner at gmail.com>:

The drawback is that applications would be benefit immediatly from this work, they should be modified to use the new module. But usually, developers who care of security are able to do these modifications.

I think asking developers to make significant modifications to their code is besides the point of the PEP. However, if they are willing to make changes, I'd still recommend that they port their code to Python 3, as that is the better long-term investment.
