I think I try to change the API version number when there are incompatible changes in object lay-out which would trip you up even if the functions haven't changed. An example would be adding the hash field to the string object, which requires recompilation for every extension that uses the PyStringASSTRING macro.

Or removal of the ob_size field from the cell object...
