It's all fine by me, and yeah I think you did the change.  I'm sure it 
wasn't me.

My point in bringing up bsddb was that it was the only remaining use of 
CObject that shipped with Python 2.7.  Yes, certainly there were 
externally-maintained extensions that went to pieces when 
PyCObject_FromVoidPtr() started returning NULL.  But internally, 2.7 
switched entirely to capsules, except for bsddb.
