I don't think this is a major issue. Most users only use one version of IDLE with one version of Python.

IDLE's user config is indeed shared between all versions. This is an unfortunate design mistake, and could perhaps be fixed in 3.5.

Regarding this issue, we could skip 3.4 and include it only in 3.5. I think telling users "fix your IDLE config when switching from 3.4 to 3.5 as so" is reasonable. If we don't allow ourselves this, then without switching to having separate configs for each version of Python, we'll never be able to change anything in IDLE's configuration!
