Kevin, ThreadStateMapping.scopedThreadState uses an additional level of indirection to avoid having a ThreadLocal directly refer to a ThreadState, which is necessary to avoid a resource leak where the Thread object has a reference to the ClassLoader of the entire Jython runtime, thereby preventing the runtime from being unloaded until the thread exits. See http://blog.crazybob.org/2006/07/hard-core-java-threadlocal.html and #1327, as well as r7273 (https://hg.python.org/jython/rev/55f7eaddc954).
