I somehow feel compelled to clarify that (perhaps unlike Larry) my concern is not the strict rules of backwards compatibility (if that was the case I would have objected to changing this in 3.5.2).
I just don't like the potentially blocking behavior, and experts' opinions seem to widely vary on how insecure the fallback bits really are, how likely you are to find yourself in that situation, and how probable an exploit would be. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
