A co-worker of mine recently told me that Sun plans a drastic change in
lightweight processes. The change being something like going from a sub-
scheduler within a process to a sub-scheduler for multiple processes. This
sounds an awful lot like OS functionality. Can someone provide me with more
details about this change ? Are LWP's going to backwards incompatible from
SonOS 4.X to SunOS 5.X ?
