I don't think there is enough precedence to have a policy. So far, the
only places that explicitly support Jython is the test suite, pickle,
and platform (I wouldn't really count in site here).

If the portability problem can be solved by checking things into Jython
instead, I think I would prefer that. Then having in CPython an import
that only succeeds for Jython would be fine.
