In which case why am I bothering trying to support both version in one codebase if we can't unify them as much as possible? The old codebase hasn't been touched in some time. Why are we supporting internals such as abstract.c as part of the API guarantees. It just seems like a huge maintenance nightmare and both of us have shone that we have little time to maintain this codebase beyond basic bug fixing. I've always maintained that the only API guarantees we give are on the higher level Python bits.
