As one of the people who has been defending this proposal, let me now suggest that we just drop the idea.

Agreed. Thanks to everyone who helped defend it though, and thanks to others for providing obective feedback!

Your original change can be kept around as a patch that people can apply for themselves if they want to. I expect that anyone who really cared would be using stackless anyway.

I think it would actually even be possible to turn it into an extension module, but that's a project for another day ;)
