PEP 703 was accepted recently, meaning that free-threaded Python is moving into a new phase, where the goal is to see how it would really work in the Python ecosystem, with real C extensions! A large part of the unknowns of the project lie in how the C extension world will work, when there's no global lock protecting Python objects.

Enabling wheel-building seems like it might help accelerate this kind of testing. I think normally support for interpreters is only added at the beta phase, but perhaps the situation would warrant a special case?

This will also require pypa/pip#12300 (and a new packaging release before that).

Edit: this is mentioned but not referenced in python/cpython#111870 (comment)
