I'm not sure what language you would specifically like to see added to the PEP. "Recommendation for 3rd party frameworks: please don't use the stick approach." sounds a little strange. What's the point you're trying to get across?

Something like:

As a style issue, 3rd party code which wishes to use ABCs should follow the lead of the core and standard library, and be written in such a way as to allow, but not require, the use of ABCs.

But as I said, I'm coming to the view that worrying about such things is FUD. So I'm happy enough to relegate this sort of thing to possible a PEP 8 amendment if such an issue really does become a problem.
