My understanding is that unlike python2.7, pypy is not going away.  If nothing 
else it's needed to build pypy3.

Tumbleweed and I recently did some integration work to make sure pip and 
virtualenv for Bullseye will support pypy and pypy3.  In fact, a pypy 
virtualenv may be a decent solution for people with python2 code that isn't 
ported to python3 yet.  I'd hate to mess that up.

I think we need to keep some of pypy.  The question is how much.

Since Tumbleweed is the one most familiar with the environment, I defer to him 
on the specifics about what we need to keep.
