As I mentioned on the tracker,  I support removing the locking API from 
PEP 3118.   If needed it can be added back later under a separate API 
entirely.   It is clear that it is a separate issue.

I do think it is a useful issue, however, and would like to see some 
discussion of it in the future --- especially in the context of a future 
shared memory object for Python.
