By requiring people to be explicit about when they wanted the traceback (rather than giving it to them all the time via e.traceback), we can prevent many of those issues.

If any way is provided of getting a traceback given an exception object, whether it's get_tb(e) or e.traceback, it's necessary to keep the traceback around as long as the exception object lives. So I don't see what you would gain from this.
