As I commented on the PR, I think this PR should not be merged until and if there is a consensus that this support belongs in the standard cpython repo and there is an agreed-upon plan how this platform would be supported on going.  I think it needs an approved PEP.  We've allowed ourselves in the past to do a long-term disservice to our downstream users by merging in support for platforms that we were not equipped to support.  In any case, it would need to wait for 3.8.
