Of course it does, if it you want to have any hope of instrumenting your python 
memory usage with detailed python runtime information.

Your statement islike saying: "A profiler has no business looking at the  
thread callstack."

Note that we are not making any new requirements on python here.  Merely 
facilitating the process, for those implementations that _wish_ to do so (at 
their own risk.)

So, although you have nothing against the patch as such, you are against it on 
the principle that I am using it to facilitate something that you disapprove 
of.  I find that a quite unreasonable position.
