In that case, I'll do a manual backport of the PR just to 3.8 and skip the news entry. As mentioned above, I think most of the value in fixing it when the SyntaxError isn't present is mainly just for providing a good example in the latest stable version of the stdlib, so I don't think there would be much additional value in also backporting it to 3.7.
