I am not a big fan of this idea to be honest. Can you explain to me what the issue is with the licensing as it is?
from cursor.
It is content license, not code license. It is not compat with GPL. I want to package your project in fedora because it is dependency for pipenv and other dependencies are compat with gpl. And there is some legal issue with using stuff on stackoverflow which I dont really understand.

Note that pipenv bundles this and this being GPL will most likely block them.

Is it not? Creative Commons (other than CC0 are generally not good idea for code), but that does not make them non GPL compatible.
Version 4.0 of CC's Attribution-ShareAlike (BY-SA) license is one-way compatible with the GNU General Public License version 3.0 (GPLv3).
(Here, it was 2.5, but that is now a detail.)
I am worried that the license was changed to a very strict copyleft license. Now if a project (such as pipenv) uses it, they would need to change their license too.
Would you please reconsider at least LGPL, if not MIT?

That's right.

I'm not a big fan of the licences you mentioned - I believe in free open source software and also believe its usage should be promoted. Relicensing to LGPL allows for cursor
getting integrated in closed-source non-free software, the kind of software I try to avoid using.
It's a shame to see you guys abandoning this little piece of software but I'm confident that this is the right way forward.

I see that you are aware of the consequences. I won't try to persuade you. Thanks for clarifying.
