Hello. I am writing a PEP to describe how I'd like to "resurrect" and maintain the Stable ABI & Limited API going forward. I assume this'll be my main focus for CPython in 2021. I'm not as far along as I hoped to be at the end of 2020, but I guess it's time to request comments.
It looks like a well-thought out and justified proposal to me.
I did have some questions while reading the early sections, but you had answered them by the end of the PEP (mainly the point about why code compiled and tested with an older "Py_LIMITED_API" value on a newer Python may still crash when run on an older version of Python, even if that version exports all the symbols referenced).
Cheers, Nick.
