The #Python steering council's decision on PEP 703 which attempts to remove the GIL: https://discuss.python.org/t/a-steering-council-notice-about-pep-703-making-the-global-interpreter-lock-optional-in-cpython/30474
Note that this will initially be an experiment. As such, the SC is reserving its right to drop the experiment if it becomes too burdensome to support (both in CPython and in the community in general, including lack of uptake). So for all of those who have been asking for the GIL to be removed, this is very much a "put up or shut up" situation for the community to show they support this.
