I don't think the tide is going to completely turn in the next three or four months. If this project meets its goals, I think CP2.6 -> US2.6 -> US3.0 is a more alluring migration path. If it truly succeeds, and CPython uses LLVM as its core, then the point is moot. I think 2.6 is the right place to start -- it's more stable and has a larger codebase. To hedge a little, I say all this from a distance: I don't use Python on a daily -- or even monthly -- basis.
