First, I would count Google in the extremely skilled category :-) (cc'ing Thomas so that he can chime in) Second, if someone are doing a custom build of Python, they are very likely modifying something else than Modules/Setup (). So they already have some kind of custom branch or fork of CPython tracking their own customizations. Why Modules/Setup can't be handled the same way I'm not sure I understand. () see for example the Anaconda build of Python, which modifies several files but not Modules/Setup: https://github.com/AnacondaRecipes/python-feedstock/
