Thank you.  Do you plan to make it default when PEP 580 is accepted
and implemented?

Personally speaking, I used Cython for quick & easy alternative way to
writing extension types.
I don't need compatibility with pure Python functions.  I prefer
minimum and lightweight.
So I will disable it explicitly or stop using Cython.

But if you believe PEP 580 makes many Cython users happy, I believe you.
