Victor, the issue for 3.x, which remains, is to improve the error message. I 
also suggested a doc change, though I would like Mark or Martin's comments 
before I would make it.

Exactly. 'Older versions' includes older versions of 2.7. This is why I 
suggested that making the change to 2.7 would be a feature addition, which is 
not permitted for the very reason you give. I think the commit should be 
reverted.

Certainly, when a another developer says "This patch should be rejected and not 
committed' after careful review, you should discuss, possibly on pydev, before 
committing.
