The history as I remember it is that Christian tried hard to integrate the first versions of Stackless with CPython, but was turned town by python-dev. On a side note, I also wrote "greenlets", which is a C extension module for the regular CPython that uses some code from Stackless to provide coroutines without changing the core. I have even built an experimental I/O library for it, which I'm using with some success, and I personally like the style; but I also know that it's a very subjective matter, so I'm happy to keep it outside the stdlib. As far as I gather from discussing with Christian, he has got a similar point of view.
