Quoting http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.4.html#deprecated-functions-and-types-of-the-c-api

The PyThreadState.tick_counter field has been value: its value was meaningless since Python 3.2 (“new GIL”).

I've no idea what "has been value" is supposed to be. Perhaps "has been deprecated"?

No patch this time since I'm not sure what was meant here.
