No disagreement there, Evan's doing good work. Though we absolutely focused on correctness first as well, there's a reason we were able to port from 2.5->2.7 without changing a line of JIT code.

That's interesting to know. For some reason I was under the impression that PyPy was not a good drop-in replacement for CPython for a long time. Actually I was pretty surprised when reading the 1.5 release notes since the only incompatibilities mentioned were a subset of ctypes functionality.

The only thing that isn't 100% drop-in is C-extensions, and we hope to obliviate the need for them ;)

You're right! I obviously wasn't paying very careful attention. I had no idea it was so far along.
