Sorry, but I'm with Vít there. If Python is running into

limitations, the goal should be to work on improving the toolchain, not to
add a hack with side effects (bloat, compatibility issues) to the Python

you
admitted yourself that you do not intend it to be temporary).
How is statically linked libpython hack? It's just a different way to do
it, isn't it? And if toolchain needs some improving, fine, but why should
we have lower performance and keep waiting on it if there is a solution
available right now? Solution that's been tested and proven to work in
other high profile Distributions (Ubuntu, Debian). And size increase? It's
so tiny, I can't imagine why should that matter at all.
Also, this is change to Python ecosystem in Fedora, it does not depend on
Ruby, Perl and others.
Anyhow, I am very much for this proposal.
