US is a fork of CPython. Their aim is to make it faster without changing anything.
PyPy is a completely new implementation. Now, I know that they have been pretty fanatical about testing everything, but it's still a risk.
Google has a lot of old Python code. They want to it to run faster, but without anything changing.
Perhaps some googlers are working on PyPY as well.
