Sorry, I was calling YAGNI on any change in behavior of module.__file__.

I'd like to consult with my Debian/Ubuntu Python maintainer colleagues to see
if it's worth getting into 2.7.  If it is, and we can get a BDFL pronouncement
on the PEP (after the next rounds of updates), then I think it will be
feasible to implement in the time remaining.  Heck, that's what Pycon sprints
are for, no? :)
