Is special cython handling too much to handle? if not - I would beg to
keep it. I thought it is modular enough to not be a sore point -- if
helps, feel welcome to move those rules down in the file. Having it
greatly simplifies backporting to older debian/ubuntus which
might lack up to date cython and providing cython backport itself would
be too destructive (causing other FTBFS etc). May be you see a better
way?
For the same reason of backports I would ask to not strip all the
python2 support in there prematurely.
otherwise, I would wholeheartedly welcome simplifications as long as
pandas builds seamlessly also at least on debian stable (or soon
oldstable) and some recent ubuntus.
