I think one of the ideas behind 1:1 libth is to keep the code as simple as practical and entangling it too strongly with KSE contradicts with that goal. I certainly hope to see M:N threading project to come to completion in the future, but keep in mind that the architecture this complex will certainly take quite some time to mature and having a reliable fallback option is good. If anything it will provide KSE people with something to compare their implementation with. -- Alexander Kabaev
