Don't you think that the number of corrections you have to apply in order
to get the tests working again shows how much impact such a change would
have in real-world applications ?

Perhaps we should start to think about a compromise: make both the
collision counting and the hash seeding optional and let the user
decide which option is best.

BTW: The patch still includes the unnecessary _Py_unicode_hash_secret.suffix
which needlessly complicates the code and doesn't any additional
protection against hash value collisions.
