It's not like CPython is depriving anyone of GIL-free Python. IronPython and Jython are GIL-free. You can have it yesterday.
CPython maintains Python's original purpose as a glue language. You know how much worse CPython would be for that use-case without the GIL.
GVR has said he'll support removing the GIL as long as there's no performance hit. Otherwise, it's simply asking for a fundamental change of direction and too much sacrifice from everyone who needs CPython specifically, just to improve the productivity of people who could use a different Python.
