I think Steve (?) removed it on a code update given that it's not necessarily clear that counting the number of threads that are active is a good indicator of if the workload calling exit should really exit or not. I'm not sure about the reason, so maybe Steve could comment or a double check of the archives is in order because I do remember a similar functionality to this inside of M5 previously. I dont think there was anything about "freezing" stats though. So with regards to that patch, I guess it wouldnt hurt to post it on reviewboard though so that people can comment on it and potentially get it into the tree. -- - Korey
