Realistically, this saves me nothing since I have to re-implement it anyway in 
in all versions <= Python 3.6 (basically just the exact same algorithm with 
line 997 replaced with enfold(dt, fold=1) rather than dt.replace(fold=1), but 
I'd rather it fall back to the standard `fromutc()` in fold-aware versions of 
Python 3.6.

That said, I don't see how it's a big can of worms to open. If you're going to 
provide `fromutc()` functionality, it should not be deliberately broken. As I 
mentioned above, I see no actual downside in having `fromutc()` actually work 
as advertised and as intended.
