Yes. SA does not equal M:N threads, and as I've said elsewhere, if it
were my system, I'd burn down SA but salvage M:N through a different
mechanism.

Let's draw this thread to a close. Y'all aren't gonna give me m:n on
uniprocessor back, are you?  I should quit hoping and give up on that?

Someone with authority to say so, say so, and we're done here.
