The benefit of making any backport a private API is that it would mean

bootstrapping in the process).
That sounds like a good compromise. My own major objection was in exposing a
new public API in Python 2.7, which would clearly be a new feature.
Which would likely be seen by someone as justifying other requests to
add to 2.7 'just this one more essential new feature' ;-).
