Frankly Mike I don't follow the rush behind trying to deprecate 3.3.
I'd have thought let py3.5 bed in some then take on the task of 3.3,
however I suppose it wouldn't hurt. Though "should not be added to
PYTHON_COMPAT in new packages" should be fine.

I take it here you're only talking about skipping over py3.3 from this
point.  Adding support to 3.5 systemically would be another topic.
