What's needs to be done to possibly get PEP754 (fpconst) to move ahead and perhaps go into 2.4?

Nothing, because it ain't gonna happen. In order for PEP754 to work, we need to have a bunch of people volunteer to maintain the IEEE-754 semantics for a bunch of difference platforms. Feel free to try to drum up interest, but the PEP won't be accepted until there's evidence that people are making long-term commitments.
