Coming from mobile and desktop programming, most use cases I've seen for threads revolve around doing something in the background to keep user interfaces responsive. That use case already has a threadsafe queue. The UI queue.

When your thread finishes or is ready to signal progress, you queue the event to the UI thread and forget about it.

Now I've been following this pattern for a long time and have no a experience dealing with GIL How this removal of GIL going to effect this use case if at all?
