Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Will the next CPython 3.13 releases (alpha 3) include a set of builds that have --disable-gil set?

I'm looking at how free-threaded builds can be tested in CI workflows and the solutions all involve compiling from source with the flags then caching the binaries. It would be a lot easier if the CPython release builds included a free-threaded variant that folks can download. Especially for Windows (because it requires a lot of extra software) and macOS because of the signing requirements.
