I may be confusing API and ABI (see my other message), but adding to
or removing functions from the stable ABI seems to be a very serious
mistake, IMO - private or not.  Unless my understanding of the word
'stable' is wrong...

Ok - my mistake.  The PEP allows functions to be added (but not to be
removed). From PEP 384:

"""
During evolution of Python, new ABI functions will be added. Applications using them will then have a requirement on a minimum version of Python; this PEP provides no mechanism for such applications to fall back when the Python library is too old.
"""
