FYI: We have code that depends on the current behavior and would prefer that
it didn't change.

Subject: Re: Stubs moving to single-threadedness


I'm not going to cast an official vote, since I'm not an official 
contributor (just lurking here), but I'l de-lurk to point out that I do 
not consider the proposal to be intuitive.  In general, "object" != 
"thread".  From a user's point of view, the constraint that "each stub
should only be used by one thread" is neither natural nor convenient in a
general multi-threaded program. I 
have written multi-threaded distributed programs using other technologies 
(and I have conributed to other RPC technologies), and used stubs from 
more than one thread; the proposed constraint would just be an added pain 
in those programs.
