That's a rule that the ARC should enforce.  We ought to formalize the rule,
though.

Looks like the .pyc magic number is stable across micro (what you called
minor) releases.  It changed between 2.4 and 2.5, and again between 2.5 and
2.6, but only during development.  (As determined by looking at the comment
at the top of Python/import.c.)

Is there any real advantage?  As far as I can tell, it just eliminates
assert statement and removes docstrings, neither of which seems all that
useful.
