Thanks! That is super helpful.
If the _Py_IDENTIFIER() API is removed, it would be *nice* to provide a migrate path (tool?) to help these projects moving away the _Py_IDENTIFIER() API. Or at least do the work to update these 11 projects.
If something like _Py_IDENTIFIER() provides genuine value then we should consider a proper public API. Otherwise I agree that we should work with those projects to stop using it. I guess either way they should stop using the "private" API. :) -eric
