>I can't imagine anyone depending on this lack-of-feature,

Neither can I, but I can imaging someone writing code that depended on the feature. If added to 3.1.3, then code that depended on it would not run on 3.1, 3.1.1, and 3.1.2. The same is true, of course, for bug fixes, but the doc does not need changing for bug fixes, and the impact is otherwise less.

> One more small incentive to make the jump to Python 3 then.

Or to 3.2 from any 3.1 version, which is the normal progession absent the dual track anomaly.
