One argument in favor of keeping PyErr_NormalizeException() (as I've learned from trying to rip it out) is the speed advantage it brings. It's less expensive to sock away the exception class and arguments, only instancing the exception when you really need it. This is important in certain core types, where light(er)-weight exception raising comes in handy.
