My feeling is that most of the people are defending this FSR simply because it exists, not because of its intrisic quality.
The fact, contrary to your feeling, is that I was initially dubious that is could be made to work as well as it does. I was only really convinced when I ran stringbench in response to your over-genralized assertions.
It is also a fact that I proposed on the tracker and pydev list a different method of fixing the length and index bugs in narrow builds. It only saved space relative to wide builds but did not have the additional space-saving of the new scheme for ascii and latin-1 text.
