Yep I fully agree. It's going to ultimately mean 99% of people end up running in old GIL mode with deterministic behavior. Companies will get burned and have to have policies that absolutely under no circumstances will the GIL be disabled in their codebase. A very small handful of highly skilled and funded teams, probably at big companies only, will have the time and tenacity to make their code AND all their dependencies work in a multithreaded environment without the GIL.
