You mean, whether it would be accepted? Depends on the patch. Or are you asking whether it would be accepted now? Definitely not; no new features are allowed for Python 2.5. readinto was documented as undocumented here r23251 | tim_one | 2001-09-20 09:55:22 +0200 (Do, 20 Sep 2001) | 3 lines SF bug [#463093] File methods need doc strings. Now they don't. I can only guess why it may go away; my guess it will go away when the buffer interface is removed from Python (then it becomes unimplementable).
