Hrmmm. I'm feeling challenged :-)

I will keep efforts on getting Stackless into the core.
Before, I cannot work on the perfect solution since the gap
would be growing and growing.
After having stackless in the core, you might expect a complete
stackless coming up in a while. This will not be just a few hundred
lines of changes, but a real challenge for someone else then...
