[Python-Dev] ABI stability between bugfix versions?

Hello, To fix the crash in http://bugs.python.org/issue13992, I have to change the definition of the Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_BEGIN and Py_TRASHCAN_SAFE_END macros in a way that makes them stop rely on global variables. Despite being undocumented, these two macros are used in a couple of third-party extension modules (*) such as greenlet and py-judy. This means that such an extension compiled for 2.7.3 wouldn't work with 2.7.4, and vice-versa. Is there something we can do to alleviate the issue? Add a note in the release notes? Regards Antoine.
