     On Windows, with CPython <= 3.4, it's better not to use py_limited_api
     because virtualenv *still* doesn't copy PYTHON3.DLL on these versions.
-    For now we'll skip py_limited_api on all Windows versions to avoid an
-    inconsistent mess.
+    Recently (2020) we started shipping only >= 3.5 wheels, though.  So
+    we'll give it another try and set py_limited_api on Windows >= 3.5.
