New submission from Brett Cannon:

As pointed out by 
http://astrofrog.github.io/blog/2016/01/12/stop-writing-python-4-incompatible-code/,
 special-casing Python 3 code instead of Python 2 code when writing Python 2/3 
code will lead to breakage when Python 3 comes out. There should probably be a 
note in the porting HOWTO mentioning that you should always special-case Python 
2 code and not Python 3 code.
