[Python-Dev] Replacing threads with swapcontext()

Hello.
I have went and replaced Python threads with explicitly-scheduled
coroutines using swapcontext() family of functions (basically out of
frustration with the greenlet).
I have two questions.
1. Is it as dangerous to switch C stacks and not switch PyThreadState as
I suspect? In particular, how tightly is PyThreadState::frame coupled to
current C stack?
2. How do you all look at merging my work as another threading-related
configure switch? It's only another thread_something.h file and a small
patch to threadmodule.c.
