I'd like to propose that the AST format returned by passing PyCF_ONLY_AST to compile() get the same guarantee in maintenance branches as the bytecode format - that is, unless it's absolutely necessary, we'll keep it the same. Otherwise anyone trying to write tools to manipulate the AST is in for a massive world of hurt.
Anyone have any problems with this, or can it be added to PEP 6?
Anthony
