I'd like to ask for clarification regarding issue 45321, which adds the missing error constants to the `expat` module. I consider those new features – it seems inappropriate to add new module constants in the middle of a release series. However, in this ticket here, the libexpat version was updated all the way back to Py3.6, to solve a security issue. Should we also backport the error constants then?
