Here's another rule-of-thumb: when the VM and the user *share* the attribute space of an object, the VM uses system attributes; the VM uses plain attributes for objects that it owns completely (like code objects, frames and so on, which rarely figure user code except for the explicit purpose of introspection). So I think the PEP should continue to use __traceback__ etc.
