So why not just replace the *broken* parts of stat.py and keep the rest of it? Why make pointless work for the other implementations? Basically, I want to hear from the Jython, PyPy and IronPython devs that they're OK with us deleting Lib/stat.py. Hearing other CPython devs say they're fine with it doesn't mean anything, since we're not the ones that will have to do additional work as a result.
