I'm talking about 3rd party extensions. Those may require source compatibility with older Python versions. All I'm asking for is to not require source-level use of C99 features.

This of course removes a lot of its usefulness. E.g. macros cannot be replaced by inline functions, as header files must still be plain C89.
