This was intentional.  I was looking for a lightweight facility to
create heap types.  I know metaclass when I call PyType_FromSpec.  If
i wanted to invoke the "metaclass from the base classes" logic, I
would just specify an appropriate base class in the spec.  This would
still leave an open problem of specifying the metatype for the most
basic class.   This is the problem I am trying to solve.
