As Jesse points out, some of that robustness comes from long-standing
bugs in the core getting fixed as a result of the addition of the
multiprocessing unit tests to the standard library test suite.

Not trying to discourage the project, just pointing out that it may not
be as effective as hoped without patching the older versions of the
interpreter.

Cheers,
Nick.
