I was just wondering if a bytecode for a superinstruction of the common sequence: 6 POP_TOP 7 LOAD_CONST 0 (None) 10 RETURN_VALUE might be worth it.

I doubt it. You'd save a bit of stack manipulation, but since this will only appear at the end of a function, I'd be skeptical that this would make any macrobenchmarks (statistically) significantly faster.
I concur with Collin. And since it appears only at the end of a function, the optimization doesn't help inner-loops in a function (where most of the time usually spent).
