I remain a little nervous about the C extensions, not as much because the current code is unreliable, but because I'd like there to be a whole lot more C code here. I've used the existing C extensions quite a bit and done tons of profiling - they really don't account for the vast majority of time spent in large ORM operations, and they don't do much for a non-ORM app that emits a lot of statements. They just cut down on an app that is non-ORM and needs to fetch very large result sets.
Basically I'd need a resource that can do lots more C code for me, if not myself since it just would take a huge block of extra time for me to get into it, before I'd feel good about the C code overall and confident that I can put out releases in a timely manner which would now require 100% reliable C code. The limitations of distutils are also troubling here. In my own work app, we use pip in conjunction with a Makefile and for the SQLAlchemy install the flag is on in the Makefile. In that regard the flag being off by default doesn't feel like that big a deal to me personally.
