An issue to consider about this is that maintainers (not talking about
you or anyone else specifically) have different concepts of stability,
and while it may seem perfectly ok to refactor external modules between
two stable releases, doing so in the standard library would spread fear
and "python is so untrustful" feelings.

That's something a good police, reflecting practices that we learn
"by osmose" while living in that environment (python-dev) for a while,
could try to handle. Enforcing it is another issue, of course.
