I think you should file bug reports for those packages.

We've agreed here that the current behavior is correct and that the proposed 
change in backward incompatible, so I'm gone to close this one as "not a bug".  
 Perhaps, some not in the docs for "packaging and distributing python would be 
appropriate" and perhaps some PEP-8 guidance for avoiding "__doc__+='moredocs'" 
without first checking whether __doc__ is None.

resolution:  -> not a bug
