Ok, then it looks like there just won't be any support for module
tagging of ABI-conforming modules. It might be possible to support
something like this in the import code, but I would consider this
pointless without accompanying distutils support.

Then, by default, the modules just use the ABI tag that distutils
assigns to them by default. It's interesting to note that #9807
got into distutils despite it being frozen (but this is not about
ABI tags, right - so does distutils in 3.2 actually assign any
ABI tag at all?)

It seems this is right out for policy reasons.
