Hello Łukasz,
I consider this one critical enough to get into 3.8:
https://bugs.python.org/issue38319
Long story short: shutil.copyfile() and socket.sendfile() are broken on
32-bit platforms for files >= 2GiB.
shutil.copyfile() was modified by me in the 3.8 cycle so the bug only
affects 3.8 and 3.9.
