I'm rejecting this as "won't fix". Users having the underlying problem (i.e. need more than 2GB of heap) really should switch to a 64-bit installation. The risk of something breaking is just not worth it.

That testing showed no issues is not convincing at all. Existing test suites will likely not exercise critical code paths wrt. this change, which are issues caused by some objects potentially exceeding 2GB in 32-bit mode. This might not even be Python core objects, but may be objects in an extension module.
