Is there any reason when turtledemo.__init__ and turtledemo.__main__ should not get docstrings in earlier versions? And the turtledemo.__main__ get the same changes in 3.4?

Not doing so introduced seeming gratuitous differences between the versions. The help refactoring I committed in 3.4 for #22053 could not be merged as it is. The demohelp.txt changes I have made for 3.4 have cleanly merged forward to file that is ignored and no longer displayed. With demohelp.txt moved to a docstring for 3.4 also, I would leave demohelp.txt in 3.4 but mark it 'unmaintained.

Why was demohelp.txt left after being copied to .__main__?  Expecting the file and docstring to remain in sync is not realistic.
