-    # During the development of Python 2.5, an attempt to move the "xml"
-    # package implementation to a new package ("xmlcore") proved painful.
-    # The goal of this change was to allow applications to be able to
-    # obtain and rely on behavior in the standard library implementation
-    # of the XML support without needing to be concerned about the
-    # availability of the PyXML implementation.
-    #
-    # While the existing import hackery in Lib/xml/__init__.py can cause
-    # PyXML's _xmlpus package to supplant the "xml" package, that only
-    # works because either implementation uses the "xml" package name for
-    # imports.
-    #
-    # The move resulted in a number of problems related to the fact that
-    # the import machinery's "package context" is based on the name that's
-    # being imported rather than the __name__ of the actual package
-    # containment; it wasn't possible for the "xml" package to be replaced
-    # by a simple module that indirected imports to the "xmlcore" package.
-    #
-    # The following two tests exercised bugs that were introduced in that
-    # attempt.  Keeping these tests around will help detect problems with
-    # other attempts to provide reliable access to the standard library's
-    # implementation of the XML support.
