-1.
First, I don't think stdlib modules should be forced to use old conventions and give up on new features just because of backports (the import changes are fine obviously).
Second, it's putting unreasonable constraints on CPython developers to know which modules should be compatible with which version and which features that requires to ignore (Python 2.6 is not even in maintenance anymore!) This is the onus of the backporter (and you have done it already, anyway).
Third, it's also a little late for this given that we're now in beta.
