What actual use case do you have that CPython's GIL is affecting in any serious way? And if you do have a real case which somehow requires the removal of the GIL, why don't you just use Jython, which has no GIL and recently released an implementation of Python 2.7?

Those are especially problematic, since they're usually coupled with numpy and simillar libraries not supported on other Python implementations - including Jython.
