There wasn't much more detail, as there actually isn't a great deal to the idea. This was the main comment in the previous email: "It seems to me that using WeakSet would mean you could get rid of _remove_dead_thread_references altogether (the implicit callbacks would handle that part), and then a set() call in _python_exit would give you concrete references to work with for cleanup purposes."
