I said that we do have the time to wait for HPy to mature and can then make the switch-over to the new API an easy one step solution, rather than introducing breaking changes with every single Python release. The latter causes churn and harms Python's adoption more than it helps.
As I wrote in a previous email, HPy by itself doesn't solve any CPython design issue, since we want to continue supporting C extension modules written with the C API.
For example, are you ready to drop support for numpy? There is a project to start rewriting some parts of numpy with HPy, but a full conversion will take months or years.
