IMO we need to distinguish the public C API which should be as much compatible as possible, target the oldest C standard, and the Python internals can require a more recent C standard.
For example, today maybe it's reasonable to requires C99 for Include/ headers (public .h files) and support C11 for Python internals (private .c files).
