Comment(by was):

 Replying to [comment:3 jason]:
 > Some of the things at #5572 need to be fixed (like constant functions)
 before this switch.  Right now, fast_float handles things like constant
 functions, but fast_callable does not.

 1. fast_float is just as bad as fast_callable, IMHO, since fast_float
 fails to handle many things too.

 2. Nobody is working on fast_callable, as far as I know, since Carl Witty
 is no longer working on Sage.

 3. The specific problem under consideration could nicely by solved with a
 simple try/except:
 {{{
 try:
     fast_float(...)
 except:
     fast_callable(...)
 }}}
