If I interpret the CVS correctly, owned was introduced in 2.40 by MAL
to deal with classes that implement __str__. After it was decided
that unicode conversion was to be done via __unicode__, the code
branch that had owned = 1 was removed by you (using MAL patch
#470578) in revision 2.119,  so I'm pretty sure owned no longer
has any use.
