Stackless is changing heavily, once again. Good news. It might be worth pointing out that even if continuations are not directly supported, it should be possible to do them with thread pickling. Unpickling a given thread state several times does the trick.

This is correct. Actually, re-enabling continuations would not be that problem. What it needs it a copy-on-write like wrapper around frames, to make them duplicate when necessary. But I really don't want to go this path again, last but not least to avoid giving Guido an argument :-)
