In short, you are against CPython evolutions and consider that CPython is good as it is (it's not worth it to optimize CPython). Well, that's one of the two choices in my previous email.
Sorry, but that's a gross misrepresentation of what I said.
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.
Python's success is in large parts built on the ease of using it's C API and the thousands of extensions out there to integrate with other software. People use Python to make other software accessible. That's the key advantage we have over other languages.
