You're pretty close to proper PEP format. Like others, I don't have
enough knowledge of threading internals to speak to the technical side
of it, but this is a well-written proposal and I agree in principle
with tightening this up. The need for a PEP basically comes down to
whether or not it's going to be controversial; a PEP allows you to
hash out the details and then present a coherent proposal to Guido (or
his delegate) for final approval.
