After going through the https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Include/object.h it seems that Py_XDECREF is just calling Py_DECREF if the PyObject pointer is not NULL. This if statement could be directly implemented in Py_DECREF right? Therefore is it really required to have Py_XDECREF? Why not use a DeprecationWarning for now and plan to deprecate Py_XDECREF in the near future? How about implementing an if statement in Py_DECREF to make it work like Py_XDECREF?
