Breaking compatibility from the current spec/functionality of python should be a definite no-no for any implementation. That being said, I can still appreciate that they didn't try to write their own busted unicode implementation since many other ones have contributed to security issues.

I don't understand why you say that. Like, it's gonna cost them in adoption to diverge, they don't need a lecture to understand that, they are doing what meets their needs and sharing it.

The implementation is optimised for genomics, thats why.
