Hi, I hope that this is the correct venue for this inquiry.

I want to attract a bit of attention over

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-defaults/+bug/1401322

It has been opened by one of Python core developers, and has a CVE reference.

I guess that backporting huge changes might not be easy, so that might
be the rationale for why this hasn't been done yet, but I'd like to
know it for certain from someone who has experience with the security
updates process in Ubuntu.

Thank you
