Sounds interesting.
If its true that a single thread time can be alternated in number of cores 
(this in turn distributes better the idle times for transistors), and this 
makes a system more stable, not more powerful, but just more stable, I think 
its a goal. 
Don`t get me wrong, I have no idea what FIFO is and also I don't need Pd to be 
more stable, but probably others do.

3) Pd is deterministic, which means that (as noted in the quote above), any 
memory sharing across threads would need to involve locks, which can be killer 
in real-time, not to mention difficult to scale and guarantee thread safety. 
[pd~] communicates via FIFO because it needs to be able to keep messages and 
audio in sync by block.I'm sure there's more.
