It's only been a few days, and there are definitely some of us that genuinely want the stable ABI to meet its guarantees (e.g. me, Steve Dower, Eric Snow, Victor Stinner). It just isn't likely to come fully into its own until more library developers are able to drop support for Python 2.7.
Note there are issues with PyType_FromSpec() which make the stable ABI rather delicate to use: https://bugs.python.org/issue15727 https://bugs.python.org/issue16690 Regards Antoine.
