Why wasn't free threading a new version of python? Having everything suddenly going from thread safe to C level insecurity is a major change, not just a small feature update. In fact, if they had to redactor the interpreter to support it, that sounds like even more of a reason to make it a major version update. Doesn't python follow semver?

The free-threaded build is a patched version of the interpreter. This is not (currently) behavior normal users will be exposed to.
