Where its a dupe sure.

unittest2, traceback2, linecache2, mock are not duplicates of the
functionality in 3.4 - they are backports of things in 3.5 (to all
pythons). And they will shortly have more than 3.5 itself has in it,
as they are rolling backports: what lands in 3.6 will go into them. So
I don't think removing them makes sense.

I don't have a view on other packages.
