I wish the community would just switch entirely to pypy. Being able to just slightly performance sensitive code in python is a huge win.

What purpose would that serve?

I think you slightly this phrase, but aside from that pypy does not work for everybody and everything (e.g. at best it's no slower for sphinx, it really doesn't like the way docutils works). It's not like pypy's a magic wand.

I don't know or use Python but why an implementation that is trying to be "superior" still has the GIL?

This donation page has some background on how PyPy is proposing to replace the GIL with software transactional memory:
