Pulled.

The "nobody really maintains or cares about epoll/aio" makes me wonder
if we should just remove the "if EXPERT" from the config options we
have on them, and start encouraging people to perhaps not even build
that code any more?

Because I'm sure we have users of it, but maybe they are few enough
that saying "don't enable this feature unless you need it" is the
right thing to do...
