Actually, I don't know. I try to avoid any form of thread locking
where possible, and I don't remember the last time I used
blocking=False at all. Generally, in those rare occasions when I want
to lock, I want to lock reliably, and it's around something so narrow
that the simple option will be the best. So you're quite probably
right.
