> After an out-of-band discussion about this PR, I am less concerned about carrying these patches.

After thinking it thoroughly I don't think there is a rush to have sagemath with cython 3 merged (even if I believe the patches to be pretty safe). Since nothing in the repo depends on `python-Cython`, there is no conflict at all in that sagemath depends on `python-Cython0.29`. Functionally there should be no difference (for the time being... cython 3 unlocks some features that will eventually be used in sagemath).

I'm happy to either close or move to draft this PR. In any case this will stay available for whoever needs to run sagemath on cython3.

> That said, is there any argument in favor of just bumping `sagemath` to 10.2.beta1 rather than patching 10.1?

We've tried to stick with releases rather than betas. The problem with betas is that sometimes there are features that are "half-merged" so I wouldn't be confident. I much prefer cherry-picking PRs that have been already merged and beta-released. I also try to only use patches I personally review (the 9k lines patch I actually read line by line and positive review myself).

OTOH, sometimes I consider having some package "sagemath-next" which previews the future sagemath (carrying the latest beta / rc) in a way that it can coexist with "sagemath".
