There is zero urgency here, so nothing needs to change for 3.5.
Robert's plan is a fine one to propose for 3.6 (and the PyPI mock
backport).

Remember folks, "Why wasn't I consulted?!?!?!?" is one of the more
obnoxious behavours we can inflict on fellow open source maintainers
giving us the gift of their time and energy. If we're putting folks at
risk of losing data or otherwise having their systems compromised,
then by all means yell loudly, but for anything less, remember:

* it's almost certainly not urgent
* tolerating the occasional design decision we dislike won't ruin our lives
* a red bikeshed will still shelter our bikes, even if we'd have preferred blue
* it's just software, so we can put a blue wrapper around the red
bikeshed if we prefer it

Cheers,
Nick.
