For the same reason, I agree with Victor that we should ditch the threading-disabled builds. It's too much of a hassle for no actual, practical benefit. People who want a threadless unicodeless Python can install Python 1.5.2 for all I care.

Or some other implementation of Python. It's looking like micropython will be permanently supporting a non-Unicode build (although I stepped away from the project after a strong disagreement over what would and would not make sense, and haven't been following it since). If someone wants a Python that doesn't have stuff that the core CPython devs treat as essential, s/he probably wants something like uPy anyway.
