Progress on the Gilectomy

I couldn't tell you what I said in the rush of the moment, and I probably phrased it badly, so let me clarify. I don't think it'd be easier for CPython to get rid of its GIL per se. I think it'll be easier for CPython to get rid of its GIL *and still run Python extensions written in C*. It's easier for PyPy to get rid of its GIL, but it's enormously harder for them to run Python extensions written in C. If the end goal is "have a Python interpreter without a GIL that runs C extensions", then yes *that* is easier to achieve for CPython than it is for PyPy.
