However, I think it's silly to package a "traceback" module for Python 3.5 which is a backport of the "traceback" module included in the CPython 3.5 interpreter when we use the CPython 3.5 interpreter in the first place. Well, the root cause are badly written packages. We ought address this, but it's not the primary packages job. I'm in favour of keeping traceback2 and linecache2, since I'm afraid there might be more package requiring them.
