Not that anybody needs my input on this, but...

Given the range of people advocating for this change, this looks to me
like it should be a release blocker for 3.2.  Raymond's comment about
performance seems especially important, and since the world seems to
be moving toward 64-bit operating systems (certainly should happen in
a big way during the lifetime of Python 3) it seems worthwhile to hold
up further 3.2 releases until this is solved.
