What the parent is referring to is that when a Python process gets the DeadlineExceededError, it will now be recycled. Previously it would be re-used, and this would break things if the error happened in the middle of a module import (because the module would not be re-imported). Django was especially vulnerable to this.

  Indeed. Pre-warmup request, GAE would start sending requests to instances that were started but weren't fully loaded.
