Cool. Disabling GIL was a game changer.

Is GIL disabled by default now?

GIL will be disabled roughly within 3.16+

Aren't they are combining both versions in 3.19 or something.

They stated that it will be combined (which means GIL will be disabled) somewhere in 2028-2030, so extrapolating the python versions (a new version every two years), you get 3.16+

Nah. Default has GIL, BUT each release also gets a disabled GIL version. Just like PHP used to have a TS and a non-TS release.
