Hej, that gives us an alternative for the versioning switch. We could release Cython 3.0 when we change the default language level (and require users to select "language_level=2" for legacy code). Definitely a breaking change that merits inceasing the major version, and 3.0 seems very suitable.
One annoying point with language_level=3 is that all string literals become unicode (like from __future__ import unicode_literals). Unlike the other changes that language_level=3 makes, this is a major breaking change on Python 2.
So I would very much prefer enabling everything that language_level=3 does, but keeping strings of type "str" on Python 2. Maybe you could invent a new option for that, say "language_level=3str"?
