I agree. The problem I have with this is that it introduces a new method 
(handle_eof), which ends up in the "new functionality" bucket (even though it's 
not backward incompatible per-se, as it defaults on calling handle_close() 
anyway, but still it is technically a new API). Point with asyncore/chat is 
that every time you try to fix them you end up messing with the public API one 
way or another.

I know from experience (pyftpdlib) that all asyncore/chat users already 
subclass/overwrite the base classes quite massively, so if they really want to 
rely on this new functionality they probably already have implemented it 
themselves.
