Description
What is your issue?
It seems like time to add this and catch issues: https://py-free-threading.github.io/testing/
We have at least one lock-related issue in the netCDF4 backend even without this build: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/7079 . I expect things will get worse :)
xref #10783
