Definitely something we have to keep track of! And thanks for asking about
this specific case.

Generally it's been just random implementation details (example: various
OpenSSL-specific functionality that got swept in recently into the ssl
module as of CPython 2.7.9, although we can probably emulate once again) or
various other enhancements.

I personally also try to track bigger changes, such as static type
annotations and ensuring compatibility when combining with Java types. But
until we get a Jython 3.x under real development, it's going to be hard to
go beyond that.
