That sounds reasonable to me -- at this point I don't expect this to make it into 3.4.2; Nick has some working code on the ticket: http://bugs.python.org/issue22417 it's mostly missing documentation.

I also think it's more sensible to target 2.7.9 & 3.4.3 for this change, especially given the remaining rough edges in custom trust database configuration on WIndows and Mac OS X that Christian pointed out in http://bugs.python.org/issue22449

I don't believe Benjamin has picked a specific date for 2.7.9 yet, but the regular maintenance release cadence (ignoring security releases) would put it some time in November, which should be sufficient time to get the remaining issues ironed out for 3.5 under the normal development process, and then included under the banner of PEP 476 for backporting to the maintenance branches.

Regards, Nick.
