In the specific case, I think it's best to fix the 2.7 source, and then
merge the changes into 3k. The 3.x version is still similar to the 2.x
version, except for a number of additions (such as interning).

The changes should probably then also merged into the 2.6 and 3.0
branches, to allow easy merging in the future. Backporting to 2.5 will
become difficult; it will also become unnecessary.

Martin
