And remove from docs here:

cpython/Doc/howto/free-threading-python.rst

Lines 45 to 46 in 60181f4

To check if the current interpreter supports free-threading, :option:`python -VV <-V>`
and :data:`sys.version` contain "experimental free-threading build".

This should also have a What's New entry about the PEP. And NEWS as well?

These cases also need to be changed:

cpython/Doc/using/mac.rst

Line 86 in 60181f4

To also install support for the optional experimental free-threaded feature,

cpython/Doc/using/mac.rst

Line 271 in 60181f4

Python |usemac_x_dot_y| that supports :pep:`703`, the experimental free-threading feature

cpython/Doc/library/ctypes.rst

In Python 3.13, the :term:`GIL` may be disabled on :term:`experimental free threaded <free threading>` builds.

Line 694 in 60181f4

Pre-built distributions of the experimental free-threaded build are available

The Windows installer undel Tools/msi is already deprecated, so let's just leave it.

If there are "experimental" tags anywhere in the PC/layout folder (particularly PC/layout/support/pymanager.py) then those should be updated to include version number checks to determine whether to include it or not (the scripts may be used to build/package older versions as well, where we want to keep the tag).
