Docstring of the file:

"""Run Python's standard test suite using importlib.__import__.

Tests known to fail because of assumptions that importlib (properly)
invalidates are automatically skipped if the entire test suite is run.
Otherwise all command-line options valid for test.regrtest are also valid for
this script.

"""

Since Python 3 now uses importlib by default for __import__, I think that the file became useless and can be removed.

So that file wasn't to make sure  importlib was used by the test suite but  to actually make sure importlib.__import__ was heavily exercised (it's not the same as builtins.__import__ which is an accelerated C version). But thanks to test_importlib.util that shouldn't be an issue as long as all the modules in test_importlib.import_ use util.test_both(..., __import__=util.__import__).

Do you mean that you are ok to remove this file in Python 3.6? The file is not used by test_importlib.

Yes, I'm fine with removing it once I/someone double-checks that all the tests in test.test_importlib.import_ are doing the right thing in regards to util.test_both(..., __import__=util.__import__).

Ah, I didn't understand that it was a question. I'm not interested to check that.
