We have not made an effort to remove CPython's global interpreter lock (GIL); we feel this is separate from our work, and due to its sensitivity, is best done in a mainline development branch. We considered making GIL-removal a part of Unladen Swallow, but were concerned by the possibility of introducing subtle bugs when porting our work from CPython 2.6 to 3.x."
