The downside of "I won't do it until I get paid" (or I'm only being paid to do XXX) is that after they get paid, where's the incentive to do more? http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2005-May/011659.html http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2006-March/015048.html http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2006-March/015049.html http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2006-April/015103.html He spelled it out here: http://purl.rikers.org/%23uclibc/20060325.html.gz > 04:16.22 dalias imo nptl is hopelessly broken > 04:16.27 sjhill you are an idiot > 04:16.42 dalias um, why do you say that? > 04:16.54 sjhill the reason the code is not checked in is because i did > it under contract > 04:16.59 sjhill once i get paid, the code gets released > 04:17.02 sjhill which is in two months > 04:17.12 sjhill impatient aren't we?

Merging is important work. It would be nice if somebody would do it. (I'm not enough of a user of threading to merge it. I don't have good tests for all the corner cases, nor do I know what "working well" looks like in this context. I used threading extensively under OS/2 and Java, and a little bit under Python, but simply haven't needed it in a C program on Linux. None of the packages I inflict upon embedded systems use threading yet...)
