LinuxThreads future

[Mark Brown]

[Ulrich discusses putting LinuxThreads "out to pasture"]

Once NPTL is public, this is a Good Thing.

> All bugs in the current code are declared features.

Can we modify this - to at least consider support if a serious (such as a
heretofore-unnoticed security defect) problem is found? While NPTL is
the future, many users and developers have invested a lot of time and
money making things that work with Linuxthreads, and will be depending 
on it for a while to come.

Once all the benefits of NPTL are seen, people will move -- but we should 
be
honest and plan for the movement being slow, and not a light-switch.
