Nobody likes GIL, but it just have to be there or things starts crumbling...

Nobody would actually argue _for_ GIL, they just know from experience, 
that people that successfully GIL in the past, always produces 
unsatisfactory solution.

Among them are slowing down single threaded code, locking issues, etc.

They are not really arguments _for_ GIL, but a challenge for the next 
people that tries to remove it to think about before dedicating the rest 
of their life to removing GIL; only to found that nobody likes the 
solution...
