If a stripped down API like this is intended as "use this and you get compatibility across multiple Python interpreters and multiple Python versions" (essentially a much stronger and more effective version of the stable ABI) then I'm solidly in favour (and such an API has clear trade-offs that allow people to judge whether it's the right choice for them). Having this alongside the existing API, which would still be supported for projects that need low-level access or backward compatibility (or simply don't have the resources to change), but which will remain CPython-specific, seems like a perfectly fine idea.
