-# C Globals and CPython Runtime State.
-
-CPython's C code makes extensive use of global variables.  Each global
-falls into one of several categories:
-
-* (effectively) constants (incl. static types)
-* globals used exclusively in main or in the REPL
-* freelists, caches, and counters
-* process-global state
-* module state
-* Python runtime state
-
-The ignored-globals.txt file is organized similarly.  Of the different
-categories, the last two are problematic and generally should not exist
-in the codebase.
-
-Globals that hold module state (i.e. in Modules/*.c) cause problems
-when multiple interpreters are in use.  For more info, see PEP 3121,
-which addresses the situation for extension modules in general.
-
-Globals in the last category should be avoided as well.  The problem
-isn't with the Python runtime having state.  Rather, the problem is with
-that state being spread thoughout the codebase in dozens of individual
-globals.  Unlike the other globals, the runtime state represents a set
-of values that are constantly shifting in a complex way.  When they are
-spread out it's harder to get a clear picture of what the runtime
-involves.  Furthermore, when they are spread out it complicates efforts
-that change the runtime.
-
-Consequently, the globals for Python's runtime state have been
-consolidated under a single top-level _PyRuntime global. No new globals
-should be added for runtime state.  Instead, they should be added to
-_PyRuntimeState or one of its sub-structs.  The check-c-globals script
-should be run to ensure that no new globals have been added:
-
-  python3 Tools/c-globals/check-c-globals.py
-
-If it reports any globals then they should be resolved.  If the globals
-are runtime state then they should be folded into _PyRuntimeState.
-Otherwise they should be added to ignored-globals.txt.
