I didn't know that. I have always thought that whatever can be
auto-generated by the build system should not be shipped as part of a
source distribution.

Is the intent of shipping the c-files just to freeze the version of

regarding this recommendation ?

Is there be a way to generate both the Python 2 and Python 3 build of
the extension module from the Cython generated c-files only ?
