	691	+
	692	+* In preparation for potential future changes to the public CPython runtime
	693	+ initialization API (see :pep:`432` for details), CPython's internal startup
	694	+ and configuration management logic has been significantly refactored. While
	695	+ these updates are intended to be entirely transparent to both embedding
	696	+ applications and users of the regular CPython CLI, they're being mentioned
	697	+ here as the refactoring changes the internal order of various operations
	698	+ during interpreter startup, and hence may uncover previously latent defects,
	699	+ either in embedding applications, or in CPython itself.
