Let's Remove the Global Interpreter Lock
Ah, ok. So this approach doesn't completely remove the GIL, but removes it as a barrier for pure python code running in PyPy?
Or does it break the current support for porting cpython extensions?

It removes it for pure python code. The C extensions run under the lock (which is unfair to call
interpreter
any more)
