Concerning the version number, I thought the intention of PEP 404 was simply to say that the PSF would not be releasing anything called Python 2.8, not to forbid anyone else from doing so.

Or am I wrong about that?

If I'm right, there's nothing stopping Christian from releasing Stackless Python 2.8 with whatever improvements he wants. If it includes other improvements beyond the change of compiler, it may even deserve the higher version number.
