As long as frames are not considered for GC, don't worry about GC.

ceval.c and grammar changes (or Christian can make it so), it seems to me the PEPable issue is whether the value this can add is worth the price of a less linear implementation.

There's an essay + paper available, slides and an implementation. What's the problem about formalizing this in a PEP and addressing the controversial issues + explaining how they are dealt with?

I mean, if you're a convinced long-time Stackless user and everything is obvious for you, this PEP should try to convince the rest of us -- so write it down and ask no more .
