1. The new API should be fully backwards compatible and shouldn't break the ABI

Which ABI? The stable ABI (PEP 384)? I don't think object layout is exposed there, though I'm not sure of the details.

The regular ABI that almost everyone actually uses? That's already broken on every minor release, so you shouldn't spend any time worrying about preserving compatibility there.
