Whatever sufficiently sophisticated topic was the initially discussed

Well, maybe, but it seems to me that the real issue here is that we
need to remove reference counting and the GIL.
Guido will give up reference counting and the consequent immediate gc
when but only when *someone* presents an implementation that does and
and that runs faster. Given the current ferment in dynamic language
implementation, he just today wrote on pydev list "CPython's
implementation strategy *will* evolve". Whether that means R.C. goes
away or not remains to be seen.
