Interesting.  But the problem has never been in locking down
the interpreter vX.Y, but locking down interpreter vX.Y+1, when
previously work was done on vX.Y.  Without upstream developers
cooperation this has been too painful.

So the interesting thing in the posting is not that he succeeded
locking Python down, but that he is pushing the patch to core.
