No. Trust me. It is not always possible to strengthen the implementation. (At least not until we get rid of the "replace all globals with None upon module deletion" rule.)

We should do that. Trying to do cleanup without globals sucks. I updated Armin's patch that's attached to issue #812369. If we could get some more people to bang on it then prehaps we can trust it enough to accept it. If someone wants to test and needs help, give me a shout.
