Instead of tp_reserved, the name should be tp_deprecated_compare. There should be a python-dev discussion around when to actually remove the slot: 3.0.1 -- binary incompatibility between minor releases (BAD) 3.1.0 -- uncomfortable for writers who have to add #ifdefs 4.0.0 -- no pain, just wasted space 3.1.5 -- just plain mean :-)
