Have you followed these threads?  Prothon has different designs for object
layout, class semantics, threading, and garbage collection (among other
subsystems), and c.l.py has played little (if any) role in what Mark wants
to do about those.  The consequences of those decisions ("how they turn
out") should be of interest to everyone with at least a smidgen of knowledge
about CPython's and/or Jython's implementations.

Then again, you're just crabby today <0.7 wink>.
