I tend toward the more conservative, especially with changes that touch lots of .c files, so I'd say -1. But it looks from the patch dialog that Guido's already approved of this in principle, so I'll revise that to a -0.
I'm not at all sure on whether this should be incorporated into 2.2. I approve it (or something like it) for 2.3; for 2.2, I'm hesitant but if Jack thinks it's needed for MacOS, and it's off by default, and a thorough code review shows no problems with it as long as it's off, I would be OK with it. In other words, you're the release manager; it's your call. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
