This is an interesting idea. My biggest problem with it is that, at least
with the ssl library, these aren’t server-only problems. If we suggest that
they are, we end up in the same position we’re in right now (that is, hurting
the internet).
If I understood the problem and pep too narrowly, substitute 'security'
or whatever phrase you want for 'server'. My last sentence was an
admission that some details of what I said would need to be changed. The
key idea is to admit the what is being proposed is a minor fork of 2.7
(somewhat like Stackless 2.7) that might break code and which would
require separate code testing
