Someone just commented on http://bugs.python.org/issue5228
(making functools.partial picklable to play nicer with the
multiprocessing module)

I committed it a year ago to the trunk but didn't backport it to
26maint.  Should I tell the guy that isn't the kind of thing we
backport, that it is too late for a release candidate, or something
else?
