A more relevant point would be that decimal does not use the API in a way which would be broken by the proposed change, regardless of whether the way in which it uses it is subjectively correct or can cause leaks.

Considering you have to opt-in to the change, why would this be a big deal for you?

Or are you saying you'd rather have the PyModule_AddObject deprecated (without removal?), and a new PyWhatever_Whatever to take it's place?
