> Unfortunately, Python 3.11+faster-cpython work has already superseded some of it,

Why is that unfortunate? If his patch being slower than python 3.11 isn't acceptably fast despite being faster than every other python version before that then python was never acceptably fast to begin with.

Linux got rid of the BKL ages ago, that the Python community still holds onto the GIL as if it was some multi threading holy grail isn't even remotely funny anymore.

It's unfortunate because I think it makes it slightly less likely that his work is accepted, now that part of the sweet single thread performance gains are already supplied from another source.
