I take it then that you were envisaging a separate "cython-runtime" package on PyPI that Cython compiled modules would have to depend on? As long as people install their stuff using pip, that could work for them mostly ok, although with the regrettable Cython user impact of having to set that dependency for their packages in the first place. If people want to install stuff manually, dependency hell gets close. Or did you see any other ways of getting these things installed automatically, with a smaller user impact?
