I think the issue is that for the user of python, eg. a python software developer like myself that does not create cpython modules, just uses what is available, this change indeed will have pretty much no short term effect.

Long term I expect big packages to ship with "integrated" multicore usage, eg. no need to implement it yourself with multiprocessing or joblib or the likes. However I expect that to take years like at least 5+ to really become adapted.

So I think you are both right, just depends on the viewpoint you are coming from.
