The implication of endorsing code like this is that *we cannot change
private API even in patch releases*, which I don't think is documented
anywhere, and might be a bit controversial.
I think we are still allowed to change them. We should be aware of the
impact though. If an API is supposed to be private but is actually used
by a large number of 3rd party extensions, we need to consider carefully
when changing it. I don't have much sympathy for work caused for people
using clearly marked private APIs. OTOH, practicality beats purity and
we want them to be able to somehow use new versions of Python.
