That all shouldn't cause problems, but it would probably help if source releases continue to use -kv; then likely every end-user will get the same sources. I'd volunteer to review the core sources (and produce patches) if that is desired.
I'm not sure if it's a matter of "continue to use" -- as I said, 1.5.2 and later releases haven't used -kv. Nevertheless, patches to fix this will be most welcome. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
