Report from the Python Language Summit

After reading through the articles.. it would seem to me that maybe Python should look at doing a 4.0 tree where it works on getting rid of the GIL and work on garbage collection.. since those changes would require a lot of BREAK-THE-WORLD alterations to the core Python model that the other ython's would need to work on without breaking the current ython-2.x and ython-3.x worlds.

And yes this is probably an incredibly stupid and foolish thing to suggest. I just don't see an easier path due to the complexity and deep fundamental changes required.
