well, I think people underestimate how difficult to maintain the 
codebase is, it takes a lot of time to absorb enough of it such that 
making changes does not too easely
break things or subtly change the presented behavior.

So its cleanup, which of course is a delicate thing in itself, is a very 
important priority.

Also CPython is not going to slow down for us, being ruthless at 
prioritizing is central.
