That's an easy claim to make, but you don't know whether their stack would actually get much improvement out of PyPy. We've had trouble in the past using PyPy with C extensions. Trying to migrate to pure Python equivalents was a headache. Once we managed to get a PoC of a service running under PyPy, we saw very little improvement.

It is an easy claim to make but just as easy for them to test as well, so it works out.
