Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

This is definitely a duplicate of #16261 and should be closed at such.

On that issue, in msg202448, I explained that #15313 is about except: in 
idlelib and idlelib must be patched separately for the reason Raymond repeated 
(point 2). The other reason (point 1) is to keep different versions the same as 
much as possible.

I agree that bare excepts should eventually be replaced -- but on a case by 
case basis to the right specific exception. A bare except is easy to grep for. 
Once converted to something else, it is no longer visible as needing attention.
