My allergies have hit me hard so I'm not thinking at full capacity, but did we ever decide if supporting os.PathLike in the stdlib was viewed as an enhancement or bugfix? Specifically I'm thinking of https://bugs.python.org/issue30218 for adding support to shutil.unpackarchive() and whether it should be backported to 3.6.

We've already backported a few patches that improves the PEP 519 support in the stdlib with the permission from the release manager of 3.6. I'd ask Ned whether bpo-30218 qualifies for backporting to 3.6.
