The debate has crossed the border into silliness. The issue is not whether threads are good or bad, but simply whether they will be available to designers. If I can't use Posix threads to keep multiple cpus busy from a single address space, I'm not interested in FreeBSD as an SMP OS. Yes, I can and do use multiple processes and select, often. But if I can't have a decent pthread implementation, FreeBSD is taking itself out of the running. For each problem, I'll choose the technique that seems best, but I'll choose it on an OS that leaves the choice to me.
