I don't sense that.  I get a sense that there's a lot of people
licking their chops because it's sponsored by Google and everything
Google touches turns to gold, but that's just nameless plebians.  I
trust the developers not to be easily convinced.  If GvR allows this
into CPython without something like a typical 4x speed increase I'll
eat my hat.
