I have no use case for mutex (nor anything against it either), so
personally I'm +0 on removing it (just on the basis that it confuses
me - it's documented as needing to be used with sched, but most
examples I can find with google code search use it without sched,
etc...). But I hope that somebody understanding its use cases better
than me speaks!-)
