I don't think PyPy has a chance at becoming the standard the way things are going now.

Their funding has ended, and I don't think they will manage to pony up another million+ in funding after 5 years. PyPy isn't compatible with C modules, and can be up to 5x as slow as Cpython (according to their own benchmarks). Making unladen-swallow the python standard will probably cause a brain-drain and make others hesitant to support PyPy.
