[$] A pause for the Python JIT

In 2024 the Python3.13release added an experimentaljust-in-time (JIT) compiler to optimize the way that CPython executes Pythoncode. Since then, work has proceeded on the JIT, albeit perhaps less formallythan some might like. In June, Python's steeringcouncil (SC) put out an announcementthat no new development on the JIT land (with the exception of bug and securityfixes) in Python's main branch, until it accepts a Python Enhancement Proposal (PEP)that would make the case for the JIT as a supported part of CPython. That hasled to the creation of PEP836 ("JIT Go Brrr: ThePath to a Supported JIT Compiler for CPython"), which is currently underdiscussion. As it stands, it seems likely that work on JIT will continue, butwhen that will happen is less certain.
