That's not relevant. The important part is that if we accept your
proposal, users who have Python that doesn't support -P will be unable
to invoke Python even if their Python programs don't use the
problematic features.

Sorry, you lost me here. But if there's a way to close the hole
without preventing users to use a subordinate Python, please describe
it in more details.
