For the record, I wouldn't object to build fixes required to continue to build Python on say Windows 7 after some security patch broke the build. Or Gentoo, or OS X. I think there's no harm in build system or doc fixes that will have no effect on functionality. The difference is that even the simplest bug fix can change behavior, but a build system fix or doc fix will not. I agree with the position that back porting such fixes should not be required but also aren't prohibited. -Barry
