JIT in CPython has nothing to do with PyPy or GraalPy: it's its own thing. If they can't get a PEP accepted within 6 months then it's best that the code isn't weighing on the main codebase until an approach can be agreed, at which point work integrating it into main can restart. It's not an all-or-nothing situation.

I understand your words, I don’t understand why you think they’re relevant to the discussion.
Relegated to niche users, just like the other two.
Except it’s not. The intention of JIT in CPython is to make it into the main branch feature complete. If they can’t get the necessary support then it won’t be relegated to niche uses, it’ll be abandoned and need a new effort to get off the ground.

Not even remotely the same context.
