--- Comment #46 from Thijs van Dien <thijs@vandien.net> ---
I really wonder if all this effort to already accommodate for the free-threaded
build is worth it. Only the tiniest fraction of users will be interested while
it's still very much a WIP. Those who do want to try it will not need a package
but happily compile their own interpreter. Even though most of the work has
been done(?) now, wouldn't it be better to just throw an error in case of 3.13t
and assume 3.13 after that, to keep things simple in the short term? If all
goes well, around 3.15 or 3.16 might be a good time to re-apply these version
related patches. Until then, it causes needless friction IMO, as demonstrated
above. Hardly any Linux distribution ships 3.13t yet?
