This is why PEP 411 was thrashed out: to let us split the dates of "make broadly available in the standard library" and "get ultra conservative with API changes". asyncio was added as a provisional module, so it can still get new features in 3.4.x maintenance releases - that's a far more minor change than the backwards compatibility breaks permitted by the PEP. The difference with selectors is that it was *not* added as a provisional module - it's subject to all the normal stability requirements.
