Is a feature not a bug. It makes things like NumPy, SciPy and Pandas possible.

Aren't things like NumPy, etc. also possible through a FFI?

That is, I can understand that there's such a big installed based that people are loath to get rid of the Python/C extension API, but I think that's different than saying those projects are impossible without that extension API.
