The benefits of changes are usually clear, but I don't think the costs
of changes are fully assessed.  python-dev considers the cost of
changes to CPython's implementation, but I don't think the cost
changes to Jython, IronPython, or PyPy are taken into account here.
PyPy probably has enough representatives here who would squawk if
something was difficult, but I don't think Jython or IronPython do.

I think if we assessed those costs fully, the bar for changes to the
language would be a good deal higher.
