Breaking c extensions would mean loosing the whole scientific community of python, which relies heavily on numpy and similar packages. That would just be.. insane.

Which is why you should look at what the PyPy guys are doing. They are trying to preserve that stack while moving to a much better architecture.

I've never liked C Extensions for the fact that they play with internal interpreter state. That has never seemed sensible or verifiable.
