The context where this came up was the fact that the PSF has the ability to fund specific, concrete proposals targeted at porting key libraries to Python 3 (e.g. this already happened with PyOpenSSL). The structure of PyPy means that Python 3 support is about implementing a new front end without needing to change the backend (the latter includes the JIT, etc), so it was mentioned as something the PyPy folks might want to consider seeking funding for.
