Note that I'm not saying that these switches are useless - of course they do allow to strip down the Python interpreter. I believe that only very few people are interested in having these options and it's fair enough to put the burden of maintaining these branches on them.

Which is proven by the fact that many tests fail without unicode.

So at least the people building --without-unicode don't care much about brokenness.
