Ok, but then all I have to do in order to disable C level finalisation for a type is to inherit from it and provide an empty __del__ method. I think that disqualifies the feature for the use in Cython. Finalisation at the Python level is nice, but at the C level it's usually vital. I had originally read this PEP as a way to get better guarantees than what dealloc can provide, but your above statement makes it rather the opposite.
