rpython checker has been removed a while ago because:

- no one was known to use it
- rpython is a moving target, as you said
- at some point, we did change underlying ast structure to support 
  python >= 2.5 _ast module, and considering the above points, we
  choose to no spend time on updating it (this was in pylint 0.17, 
  more than two years ago).

Though you should still be able to get it back from the mercurial repository,
and try it to  see what's working or not. You'll then hopefuly find help from 
the list to get it back on track.
