In general, it would seem to me that each version of Python could add object types that are foreign to prior versions, and so as long as version N can unpickle anything produced by versions <=N, all would be well.
The question to me is because we not so much adding something brand-new (socket.AF_INET has been there for ages), as changing the type of something already existing -- I'm just not sure if we need "end-result" compatibility (achieved by the first option) or if we need "bug for bug" compatibility (achieved by the second option). -- ~Ethan~
