Take it as FUD if you want. The truth of the matter is we have our timeline, and we need a language that is going to work for us, and neither Pyrex nor Cython fit the bill. In our discussions tracking Cython's continuing changes, given the amount of work it'd take us to modify Cython to our needs and maintain a variant given radical changes being discussed, is completely unfeasible.
You may want to consider, however, that while you have very good reasons for making choices, and I am not at all saying you should not be making those exact choices, those same choices don't work for everyone.
