Stackless Python and Python 2.x

What's the current status of Stackless Python in relation to the developing
Python 2.x implementation?
I can see that there's a patched version of Stackless Python for version
2.0 (http://www.stackless.com/) and there's PEP 219 describing an
inspiration for this idea. However, I also see that PEP 219 is marked as
deferred and that PEP 220 (which covers the details) contains a brief
abstract only.
Of course, we now have generators (PEP 255) in Python 2.2, which takes us
part of the way there, but the gap remains big!
So, my question is whether coroutines are likely to make it into Python in
the forseeable future?
