This behaviour is allowed by the RFC but not encouraged. There's a difference between MUST, SHOULD, and MAY

Sending this pre-emptively could well cause unexpected errors for users. Changing the default even in 3.5 will make writing compatible code difficult because you'll have substantially different behaviour.

Regardless of whether we add this to 2.7 or not, it should be an entirely separate class. I personally feel this isn't a bug fix but a feature addition for 2.7 so I'm -0.5 on adding it there. It's also not a security backport so it doesn't fit into PEP 466.
