Practicality beats purity here. Recognize that a huge number of Python users will remain in the Python2.7 world for some time. We have a responsibility to the bulk of our users (my estimate is that adoption rate for Python 3 is under 2%). The computed goto patch makes substantial performance improvements. It is callous to deny the improvement to 2.7 users. > * The patch doesn't make the migration process from Python 2 to Python 3 > easier Sorry, that is a red-herring (an orthogonal issue). If you care about 2-to-3 migration, then start opposing proposals for API changes that increase the semantic difference between 2 and 3.
