+Implementation status
+=====================
+
+This PEP originally proposed adding all listed features to the Python 2.7.7
+maintenance release. That approach proved to be too ambitious given the
+limited time frame between the original creation and acceptance of the PEP
+and the release of Python 2.7.7rc1. Instead, the progress of each individual
+accepted feature backport is being tracked as an independent enhancement
+targeting Python 2.7.
+
+Implemented for Python 2.7.7:
+
+* `Issue #21306`_: backport ``hmac.compare_digest``
+
+.. _Issue #21306: https://bugs.python.org/issue21306
+
+Still in progress:
+
+* `Issue #21305`_: backport ``os.urandom`` shared file descriptor change
+* `Issue #21307`_: backport specified ``hashlib`` module features
+* `Issue #21308`_: backport specified ``ssl`` module features
+* `Issue #21462`_: upgrade OpenSSL in the Python 2.7 Windows installers
