Seems these guys never learn from the Python 2 -> 3 mess. GIL to NoGIL is even worse. Most changes from Python 2 to 3 are syntactic, but GIL to NoGIL could require a complete redesign and rewrite. Either it takes another 10+ years migrating OR nobody with a realistic production codebase with 10k dependencies can turn this No-GIL thing on.
