Yes, but the million dollar question is whether or not it really is superior with the I/O convoying problem in the current implementation (an effect that is substantially worse with the new GIL than with the old one by the way). Personally, I think the convoying issue is something that will have to be fixed eventually. Although, I also agree that it merits more study--especially with real-world applications.

No, to the contrary. By having the new GIL being superior to the old implementation, the adoption rate for 3k will increase.
