Please take a different point of view: if the proper adaptation is
done, the users of the "stackless" module don't need any change.  They
will continue to work as they are, with the same semantic as today ---
with the exception of the ordering among tasklets, which will become
truly random.  This can be achieved by hacking at a different level.


A bientôt,

Armin.
