Thanks for the sentiment. We are major sponsors of PyCon and have donated to PyPy.
What I'm trying to suggest is that the amount they've received to support Python 3 ($250,000 from Mozilla, $66,677 in public donations) is signal that there is major demand for this.
Could they use the infra that is building binaries for PyPy2 for PyPy3?
I understand where they are coming from "Existing project are using Python2" but I'd like to see them focus more on the future.
I love what PyPy is doing and I want them to succeed but I can't imagine their success coming out of Python2. I see them more competing with more modern performant languages that are currently stealing from Python (i.e Go/Rust).
If they focused on the future they could directly compete in that market of projects that are rewriting in other languages for performance.
