Once we modified Python 3.6 to handle correctly "the bug" and we
consider that the implementation is tested enough, I suggest to
backport it to Python 2.7 as well. Moreover, I would also suggest to
backport the change to Python 3.5, I would be sad if Python 2 is more
secure than the latest Python 3 release :-)
