RE: Killing POSIX deadlock detection

not an objection, but a consideration.

is this a change that belongs in 2.6?  it does significantly change the
behavior of the system call API, and could "break" applications.

unless this fixes a significant bug, perhaps it should wait for 2.7?
that would give fair warning to developers who need to fix their broken
programs.
