Mariatta's right that the lack of label short-circuited leaving a comment
to avoid messing up with the detection of a backport PR. Basically if the
label doesn't exist then the assumption is the PR isn't actually a backport.

As for adding 3.3 and 3.4 labels, I'm somewhat with Terry that those should
be so rare to use that I don't' know if they are worth it. Plus we don't
want core devs forgetting that they shouldn't backport to those versions (I
know I wouldn't remember that Larry plans another 3.5 release if it wasn't
for the labels).
