That's certainly a valid argument against this.

In my opinion, using f2py is a bit like using SWIG or ctypes; though we 
are still using Cython? When I'm using Cython I'd like Fortran access to 
be closer to the metal and not do the Fortran call through the entire 
Python stack.

(Also f2py needs some work to wrap the libraries I work with (using 
assumed-shape arrays), and doesn't pass non-contiguous buffers and 
non-NumPy PEP-3118 buffers. As far as I understand anyway.)
