Where would that chapter end up (source-wise) I think a few of us might have additional things to add ;)

I don't think the whole introduction had to go. I think it helped give some idea of how multiprocessing works before jumping straight to the API reference. I don't think overview material like that should be buried inside the documentation for one particular module; it should go in a chapter introduction. My plan is to move multiprocessing from the 'Optional OS Services' chapter to the 'Interprocess Communication' chapter, and then expand the introduction of the chapter to discuss the GIL and related issues. Presumably it was put in the 'Optional OS Services' chapter because that's where the threading and thread modules are. --amk
