Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:

I'm not convinced by the comment you linked to.

It seems Brett is referring to the case where at the C level someone overrides 
`PyImport_FrozenModules` (a global in frozen.c) -- though it is never 
explicitly named in the thread. And that variable *is* ignored when the -X flag 
is set to off (at least, it is ignored when use_frozen() is false and we're not 
talking about an "essensial" frozen module; and I think use_frozen() 
corresponds to whether the -X flag is on or off, or its default). So I think 
the -X flag is named correctly.
