Hi,
I added a new BaseEventLoop.is_closed() method to Tulip and Python
3.5 to fix an issue (see Tulip issue 169 for the detail). The problem
is that I don't want to add this method to Python 3.4 because usually
we don't add new methods in minor versions of Python (future version
3.4.2 in this case).
Guido just wrote in the issue: "Actually for asyncio we have special
dispensation to push new features to minor releases (until 3.5).
Please push to 3.4 so the source code is the same everywhere (except
selectors.py, which is not covered by the exception)."
I disagree with Guido. I would prefer to start to maintain a
different branch for Python 3.4, because I consider that only
bugfixes should be applied to Python 3.4.

Isn't this a little like when bool, True and False were added to
Python 2.2.1, a bugfix release, an act that is, I believe, now regarded
as a mistake not to be repeated?
