They didn't say that :-P

The thing is that some C extensions currently coded don't are
thread-safe, so weird things could happen (including crashes and loss
of profit) ;-)

From my POV, is a ongoing process to be fully thread-safe, when that
goal is achieved, the lock around this issue will be removed.
