What do you think?

I think I know what Jim Fulton thinks (as we talked about something like this a PyCon): don't. He is already sad that cPickle grew so much pickle features when it was designed as a real fast implementation. pickle speed is really important to some users, and any loss of performance needs serious justification. Easier maintenance is not a sufficient reason.
