Re: What about kqueue and netgraph?
:Matt,
:
:Given the message passing design, and the work on libcr, what will
:be the affect on interfaces like kqueue and netgraph? Given the
:push to asynchronous messages, doesn't that change the style of
:programming so that these interfaces are no longer preferable? Or
:will only the underlying code change?

:Richard Coleman
Eventually, yes, but there is a portability issue that makes
something like kqueue() preferable in a wide variety of circumstances.
The real benefit of the message passing design will be with userland
thread support.
