No? That will only break users if they only have an option-B ``foo.cpython-318m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so``, no option-A .so and no source code, and want to run it elsewhere than CPython 3.18. That's the same as today. If you want option-B .so for N versions of CPython, recompile the source code N times. Just to be clear, if done correctly there should be no need for #ifdefs in the source code of the extension module. A bientôt, Armin.
