Maintainability
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
This policy does NOT represent a commitment by volunteer contributors to
|
||||
actually backport network security related changes from the Python 3 series
|
||||
to the Python 2 series. Rather, it is intended to send a clear signal to
|
||||
potential corporate contributors that the core development team are willing
|
||||
to accept offers of corporate assistance in putting this policy into
|
||||
effect and handling the resulting increase in the Python 2 maintenance
|
||||
load.
|
||||
A number of developers, including Alex Gaynor and Donald Stufft, have
|
||||
expressed interest in carrying out the feature backports covered by this
|
||||
policy, and assisting with any additional maintenance burdens that arise
|
||||
in the Python 2 series as a result.
|
||||
|
||||
Backporting security related fixes and enhancements to earlier versions is
|
||||
a common service for commercial redistributors to offer to their customers.
|
||||
This policy represents an explicit invitation to implement those changes
|
||||
in the core development tree in cases where they are likely to have a broad
|
||||
impact that helps improve the security of the internet as a whole, with the
|
||||
assurance that the existing core development team not only won't object to
|
||||
such contributions, but will actively encourage their incorporation into
|
||||
the next Python 2.7 maintenance release.
|
||||
This PEP is primarily about establishing the consensus needed to allow them
|
||||
to carry out this work. For other core developers, this policy change
|
||||
shouldn't impose any additional effort beyond potentially reviewing the
|
||||
resulting patches for those developers specifically interested in the
|
||||
affected modules.
