I pay no attention to "backwards compatibility" issues in the libraries we
ship, and have Guido's blessing for that ornery attitude:  the libs we ship
should do the best possible job in the context of the release they're
shipped in.  It's explicitly not a PythonLabs goal that people be able to
pick modules out of a release and use them in an earlier release (although
it may be a goal of some developers for some modules -- but then the burden
is on them to ensure it works for the module and release combinations they
care about).
