As the originator of kcont(9) and the aforeentoined splice() code, I
cannot pretend to be impartial. But my recollection is that a Core
member (Matt Thomas) was quite keen to replace softints with kconts. I
thought a consensus was reached but immediately, bogged down in
details --- pretty much those which Thor cites.

At the very least, I certainly dont recall any dissent.
