[issue6269] threading documentation makes no mention of the GIL

Jesse Noller <jnoller [at] gmail> added the comment:

I strongly disagree with the wording of the patch as-is. It makes no
mention of the simple fact that I/O blocked threads get a benefit with
threading, and so on.

I do agree with adding some details about this in the core documentation
however.
