PyPy is indeed a work in progress in this area, but that doesn't necessarily preclude it from being included. That may be a matter of POV, but as long as PyPy fails to integrate (and you just called that "not a main focus"), I find it hard to defend its relevance.

Stefan, you're talking about a website which lists projects such as a Forth- like language in Python, a bytecode transformer, a project "Peregine-Falcon" which appears to be a one-man experimental implementation of Python in C++, ByteRun, a "pure-Python implementation of a Python bytecode execution virtual machine", and SPARK, which has been stuck in version 0.7 pre-alpha for years. I am astonished that you think PyPy is too immature or niche for this list.
