I think what he is saying is that they are aware that the current situation is not ideal. vfork() is suggested as a workaround, definitely not a fix. The problem is that there is limited effort available to be put into the VM subsystem and since mostly-working superpages is still *way* better than no superpages, that limited effort is best spent elsewhere at present, presumably dealing with other, bigger VM subsystem issues. Hope I got that right. :)
