That reads to me like a rejection of the point made in the blog post:
that the GIL prevents Python from taking proper advantage of multi-core
machines.
In other words: Yes, it's a design decision, but that design decision
causes the problems described.
Is it your position that the described behaviour is not a problem? Do
you hold that position because you think multi-core machines are not a
sector that Python needs to be good at? Or that the described behaviour
doesn't occur? Or something else?
