Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment:

So I tried making pathlib.PurePath handle "." more like ".." and tests started 
failing all over the place in test_pathlib, which means it would be a change in 
semantics and could start silently breaking people as most of the checks are 
for specific exceptions.

So the next question is where is '..' being mishandled? It might be possible 
and better to tighten up how '..' is treated than try to make '.' suddenly be 
treated in a weaker way.
