I don't have an opinion on the change itself (although keeping PyPI
and 3.6-to-be aligned seems reasonable), just that it's OK to suggest
folks use a backport module even on earlier 3.x versions if they want
the behaviour of the latest (or even the next upcoming) stdlib
release, rather than the baseline behaviour of their current runtime.

Cheers,
Nick.
