At least the raw allocators, anyway - that way, the developer facing documentation/comments can just say that the raw allocators can't have any prerequisites that aren't shared by regular malloc/calloc/realloc/free calls. If that's enough to get Py_DecodeLocale working again prior to _PyRuntime_Init(), then I'd suggest officially adding that to the "must work prior to Py_Initialize" list, otherwise we can re-examine it based on whatever's still broken after reverting the raw allocator changes.
