I'm not sure what fixes you mean.  I've just maintained a separate
version.

That stuff simply shouldn't be there, which is why it originally wasn't.
It appears all the world's Python, so it doesn't matter if it causes
global problems and more-or-less excludes similar things for other
interpreters as far as I remember.  (I implemented a gud-minor-mode, of
course, but it required changes to gud.el and I didn't keep up with
Emacs.  I think the general facility was less code than the
Python-specific version.)
