I think the compile time option is there more as a sanity check than anything.
I don't see the point of leaving stackless out,.

Different release schedule, perhaps?
At CCP I've put a "stacklesslib" inside the Lib folder.  We could add that to stackless.
But we would have to think about release schedules, and cadence (a popular word these days.)
Would we want to make stacklesslib more official?  We would have to give it some more love,
unittests, and its own installer.  Or not.  Installer or not?  part of lib or part of the cheeseshop?
