I saw the "indeed should not be", which seems to even more strongly indicate the opposite.

You seem to have some serious reading comprehension issues. The context of that phrase was this sentence:

"The point is that breaking legacy code doesn't have to be a show-stopper for eliminating the GIL, and backwards-compatibility does not have to be (indeed should not be) an overriding consideration in a GIL-free Python."

That has nothing to do with opt-in vs opt-out.
