This may be a good idea, or not. You have to decide.
How many developer (better projects that use ctypes) have to change they
code for work with new version? Big question, you say.
I see only two (or three) question about this issue, so I don't think
that, for the other developer :), this is a problem.
If you want to be backwards compatible, do it! What "internal" python
developers think about this?
