I'm not sure I understand what you propose to fix holes like constructors and subclasses: it seems that you want to remove them altogether (and e.g. make factory functions instead). That would completely break all programs, right? I mean, there is no way such changes would go into mainstream CPython.
How much code is actually out there that uses subclasses? It seems like a fairly esoteric corner of the language to me.
In any case, I think this approach should certainly be tried, and if it works out, considered for Py3k.
