OK, *that* sounds like an excellent reason to keep the Unicode disabled
builds functional, and make sure they stay that way with a buildbot: to
help make sure we're not accidentally running afoul of the implicit
interoperability between str and unicode when backporting fixes from
Python 3.

Helping to ensure correct handling of str values makes this capability
something of benefit to *all* Python 2 users, not just those that turn
off the Unicode support. It also makes it a potentially useful testing
tool when assessing str/unicode handling in general.

Hmmm... From my perspective, trying to enforce unicode-disabled builds will only lower the (already low) chance that I may want to write / backport bug fixes for 2.7.

For the same reason, I agree with Victor that we should ditch the threading-disabled builds. It's too much of a hassle for no actual, practical benefit. People who want a threadless unicodeless Python can install Python 1.5.2 for all I care.

Antoine.
