Note too that we can't change the generated code at all for 2.3 unless under the control of a new future statement, else existing None-abusing code could break.

I'm trying to eat the cake and have it too, by detecting if None is being abused and disabling the change of LOAD_GLOBAL to LOAD_CONST. If it works (and probably will), we may then choose to include warnings, keep it that way forever, or whatever.
