Of course, allowed. But should they be made, and if so, by who?
The people who want the fixes.
Babies want clean diapers. So babies have to change diapers
themselves?
That has to be the worst analogy I've ever read. We are discussing
backporting working patches, *NOT* having to go through the whole
shooting match from scratch.
You think so? I think that a lot of people who are using 2.7 would
like to have the fixes. They know how to use Python, but they would
not now how to implement a patch. That is why I made this comment.
I don't think so, I know. If they want the patches that badly and can't
do it themselves they'll have to grin and bear it, or do a bit of
begging, or pay somebody to do it for them. Unless the PSF or another
body does the paying, something which I vaguely recall hearing about.
