The yes/no answer is "No, we can't drop it".

Thanks, that's a clear answer :-)

I'm not convinced of the benefits of removing the pure Python RLock implementation

Indeed. As noted, this issue with signal handlers is more general, so this wouldn't solve the problem at hand. I just wanted to know whether we could remove this "duplicate" code, but since it might be used by some implementations, it's best to keep it.
