Except for *very* carefully considered security features for 2.7, we do not add new features to python x.y after initial release.  The 2.7 security exception required a PEP, and I believe the PEP was limited to features specified in the PEP.

I would expect porting guides (or 2 & 3 guides) to cover this issue.

Features added in 3.0 were considered for backporting to 2.7, which came out 18 months later.  This one did not make the cut.
