(On closer inspection, that's actually be the same breakage as already 
mentioned above)

However, what I'm not clear on is how this would affect projects that had 
*already* generated their cffi code, and include that in their sdist. Are all 
those sdists going to fail to build on Python 3.8 now?

It's OK to require that extension modules be rebuilt for a new release, but 
breaking compatibility with a *code generator* that means a broad selection of 
projects are all going to fail to build is a much bigger problem.
