Closing the backport requests is fine. For the feature requests, I'd only

There aren't that many backport requests, anyway, are there?


There is only a few requests (about five)

I get your point. It is the 'back-ports' that you have tagged.

Right, things already in 3.x.

I was concerned that there will be policy drawn or a practice that
will close any/every existing Feature Request in Python 2.7.
There are some cases (in stdlib) which can debated on the lines of
feature request vs bug-fix and those will get hurt in the process.

I have started going through old open issues tagged with 2.5. Many are unclassified. Those that are feature requests that are *plausible* for 3.2 I am marking as such and retagging for 3.2, *not* closing. (I am also marking bug reports as such and asking the OP to test in 2.6/7 and maybe 3.1 if I cannot easily do so.)

Ideally, all core/stdlib feature requests should be classified as such and tagged for 3.2 or even 3.3) only.
