It seems likely that this information is just out of date.  But even if there *are* still built-in functions lurking somewhere that don't release the GIL during I/O, the statement in the docs isn't really helpful in finding them.  Either way, I'd recommend simply removing it.

Adding Guido to the nosy in case he can provide a pre-Python 1.0 historical perspective.
