That's not deliberate, but because of how Makefile dependencies are specified (importlib.h needs the _freeze_importlib executable to be rebuilt, but it should really depend on the _freeze_importlib.c timestamp). Do you have an idea to avoid that? > Is it then the plan to drop importlib.h from version control? No.

Yes indeed. That's not deliberate, but because of how Makefile
dependencies are specified (importlib.h needs the _freeze_importlib
executable to be rebuilt, but it should really depend on the
_freeze_importlib.c timestamp). Do you have an idea to avoid that?

> Is it then the plan to drop importlib.h from version control?

No.
