Which part of "support for the Giant lock *over the network stack* was removed"
[emphasis mine] do you not understand?
The reason is performance for overall network stack, not ideology.

BTW, there were advanced notices for users, request for volunteers, etc.

So, if you didn't speak up at that time please keep silence now :-)

P.S. why is security@ in cc: ?
