Tony,

You are right in the sense that if 4D document that developer should not
use some constructs and he uses them and then gets runtime error, or his
method does not works as he intended, it is his and only his problem.

On other hand, 4D is aware that such problems would be very difficult to
debug and the rules are complex and maybe confusing for some. And as a
result, reputation of 4D will suffer.

So I understand that 4D want to play it safe. And as other wrote here, to
use existing code for preemptive processes may not be a good idea and 4D
seems to agree.

What means that I do not believe 4D will change these rules. Maybe later,
when it will be obvious they make problems and developers will understand
programming for preemptive processes well, but currently it does not make
much sense.
