Creating *new* incompatibilities between Python 2 & Python 3 is a major point of concern. One key focus of 3.5 is *reducing* barriers to migration, and this PEP would be raising a new one. It's a change worth making, but we have time to ensure there are easy ways to do things like skipping cert validation, or tolerate expired certificates. Regards, Nick.
