CFFI is slow. This would effectively kill one of the strongholds of CPython. IMO CPython's C-API is the best out there and a large part of Python's success. We're talking about a slowdown of at least an order of magnitude here: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-December/130772.html I think people who don't need the C-API can use PyPy.
