While technically a purely internal change, bpo-31845 was a fairly significant externally visible bug caused by these changes (environment variable based configuration was being ignored due to a change in the relative order of reading the environment and reading command line settings, and the test suite was only testing the command line options) Hence this note to essentially say "If you see odd startup problems in 3.7 that you've never seen in previous releases, it's probably our fault, so let us know, and we'll fix it".

@ericsnowcurrently The review request was mainly to make sure you saw that I'd added this note, but also feel free to amend it if you think the wording could be improved :) |
