If they're really all wontfix, maybe we should mark them as wontfix,
thus giving 3.4 a sendoff worthy of its heroic stature.
Godspeed, and may a flight of angels sing thee to thy rest,

There is no fix. A fix may break the backward compatibility. Is it
really worth it for the last 3.4 release?

Bug inactive since 2015. I don't expect that anyone will step in next
weeks with a wonderful solution to all XML issues. I suggest to ignore
this one as well, this issue is as old as XML support in Python and I
am not aware of any victim of these issues.
Obviously, it would be "nice" to see a fix for these issues but it
seems like core devs are more interested to work on other topics and
other security issues.

It seems like two core devs are opposed to fix this issue.

There are open security issues on the HTTP server and urllib. I am
more concerned by these issues, but it's hard to fix them, there is a
risk of introducing regressions.
