Converting static types to heap ones is just one of the reasons to use PyType_FromSpec*. Another ones are writing such classes from scratch, and converting pure-Python classes to C. I don't think PyObject_FailingNew is a good default for either of those.

I think Sehriy's solution in bpo-26979 is better: document this, and allow setting a slot to NULL explicitly.
