Barry,
I would be happy with having to manually #define STRING_METHODS in
stringobject.c. Forget about the configure flag at first. I think the main
point for experimenters like myself is that it is a hell of a lot easier to
twiddle a #define than to try merging different CVS branches to get access
to the functionality. Most of us have probably advanced far enough on the
Emacs, vi or Notepad learning curves to handle that change, while most of us
are probably not CVS wizards.
Once it's in the main CVS branch, you can announce the change or not on the
main list as you see fit (perhaps on python-dev sooner and on python-list
later after some more experience has been gained with the patches).
