He has a good point. But I actually believe <no one> knows how to remove the GIL. The dev's don't want to admit it, and prefer to make up explanations, but I don't think anyone can come up with a way to remove it. Guido's been open to solutions for a long time IIRC he just wants it not to slow down the single threaded case. And no one has put forward anything.
