Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
Presumably when the implementation was done the IS_ABSTRACT name sounded more
logical than just ABSTRACT. Since the PEP doesn't *specify* the name of this
flag[1] I see no reason to change anything. Closing.

[1] The PEP mentions this flag exactly once:
(If this were implemented in CPython, an internal flag
``Py_TPFLAGS_ABSTRACT`` could be used to speed up this check [6]_.)
