R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

Many applications and libraries say "Python X.Y or newer", and it is one of the 
strengths of Python that this will often be true.  That's what our backward 
compatibility policy is about, and that's why the fact that it isn't true for 
2.x->3.x is such a big deal.  As far as I can see there was no deprecation 
involved here, so "announced" is not a factor, I think.  We won't be sure until 
we know what changed.

All that said, it is quite possible (even likely, given #11898) that the pyamf 
code contains a bug and only worked by accident, and is now failing because 
some other bug in Python was fixed.  Again, we won't know until we have a 
complete diagnosis of the cause of the change in behavior.
