> They add considerable complexity to frame-threading implementation,
> which includes an unavoidably leaking error path, while the advantages
> of this option to the users are highly dubious.
> 
> It should be always possible and desirable for the callers to make their
> get_buffer2() implementation thread-safe, so deprecate this option.

> Postponed the removal until major 60, also documented this explicitly in
> APIchanges, so users can test for it.
