Thanks for digging up the history. I would have approved without, but feel better with. Using the colorizer close method to close a window seemed flakey to me, and it seems someone else thought the same long ago. I suspect the machinery was left to avoid breaking external uses. PEP 434 changed this avoidance being *necessary*. (I am sure I have seen a SO answer with percolator + colorizer, as in turtledemo.)
IDLE has had a too many shutdown bugs and still has some. Not adding one was my main concern when reviewing.
